OEDO opens its first branch in Naic, Cavite, offering authentic Tokyo flavors, 100 percent Japanese rice and traditional shokunin craftsmanship.
Japanese restaurant OEDO launched its first location at the Stadium Shopping Strip in Naic, Cavite, on April 19, 2026, bringing authentic Tokyo flavors to the local fast-food market.
Located on the 2nd Floor Food Centre, the outlet aims to provide a high-end dining experience at affordable prices through a menu rooted in 40 years of culinary tradition.
Kands Corporation president Ogawa and OEDO founder Obayashi established the brand based on a decades-long friendship. As a supplier of premium ingredients, Ogawa provided technical expertise and high-quality Japanese components to support Obayashi’s expansion into the Philippines. The brand focuses on the spirit of the shokunin, or master craftsman, to maintain quality.
“We are not just making food; we are delivering excellence,” Obayashi said.
The restaurant uses 100-percent Japanese rice, professional cold-chain management, and science-based recipe ratios to ensure consistency. A signature Don-gaeshi sauce is used to replicate Edo-period flavors from Tokyo across its various bowls.
The menu features traditional dishes such as tonkotsu ramen, the S1 set consisting of ramen and a minced chicken bowl, tori soboro don, pork donburi, gyudon, oyakodon, katsudon, and pork cutlet curry rice.
Other options include mild Japanese curry and a crispy teriyaki karage bowl. The beverage and dessert selection includes matcha tea, matcha lattes, sweet soy dango, and mizu shingen mochi.
Joshibi University of Art and Design graduate and daughter of the founder, Obayashi, designed the brand’s visual identity. She utilized a black and gold aesthetic for the signage and interiors to differentiate the outlet from standard mall dining spaces.
OEDO plans to introduce additional menu items and expand to new locations in the coming months.
