What is Hokka Hokka Tei?
Hokka Hokka Tei means "Hot Hot Shop" in Japanese, which is a perfect name because their food is always served fresh and warm. They offer lots of different dishes, from classic Japanese meals to other tasty options, all at prices that won't break the bank. It's a favorite spot for many Japanese people when they need a quick and affordable lunch or dinner.
How Hokka Hokka Tei Started
The company that first made Hokka Hokka Tei famous was called Plenus Co., Ltd. They started in the food business in 1980. Over the years, Hokka Hokka Tei grew very big, with many shops operating as franchises. This means that different people or companies own and run individual Hokka Hokka Tei shops, but they all follow the same rules and use the same brand name.
Hokka Hokka Tei Today
A few years ago, Plenus Co., Ltd. decided to create a new brand called Hotto Motto. So, they no longer run the Hokka Hokka Tei franchise. Instead, another company called HURXLEY Corporation now runs Hokka Hokka Tei, especially in western Japan. This means Hokka Hokka Tei continues to serve its popular bento meals to customers.
