Hong Kong-headquartered restaurant group Itacho Sushi has ceased its operations in Singapore, after a series of outlet closures over the past year, according to a report on The Straits Times.

According to the report, the company’s last four locations at Ion Orchard, Bugis Junction, The Star Vista and Square 2 in Novena were all marked “permanently closed” on Google Maps.

Itacho Sushi’s online footprint also appears to have been taken down. Its corporate website is no longer accessible, and its social media pages are not available.

Additionally, its mobile application — previously used for browsing the menu, placing orders and accessing rewards — has also disappeared from major app stores.

These developments follow its store closures in Tampines Mall and Bedok Mall.

There has been no public communication or formal announcement from the company on the closures.

The brand was launched in Hong Kong in 2004 under the Taste of Japan Group and became known for its handmade sushi and salmon-focused menu. It moved beyond its home market in the late 2000s, making its Singapore debut in 2009.

Government portal Bizfile lists Itacho BM, which operates the chain in Singapore, as “gazetted to be struck off” from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority’s Register of Companies.

The withdrawal from Singapore comes on the heels of developments in its origin market. In December 2024, the South China Morning Post reported that Itacho Sushi’s last restaurant in Hong Kong had closed following the death of founder Ricky Cheng.

Recently, café and gourmet grocer The Providore Singapore shut all of its outlets in the country. It had six locations in the country.
