ONIGO Co., Ltd. has acquired all remaining shares of ESCom Co., Ltd., bringing the restaurant and prepared food group fully into its corporate structure. The company also conducted an additional third-party allotment of shares to deepen its capital and business alliance with So-Two Co., Ltd. The moves aim to accelerate business synergies between ONIGO's quick commerce platform and ESCom's food manufacturing and wholesale operations.
ONIGO Co., Ltd. announced on June 1, 2026, that it has acquired the remaining 66.7% of shares in ESCom Co., Ltd., making the prepared food and restaurant group a wholly owned subsidiary. The move follows ONIGO's initial 33.3% stake purchase in January 2026, which was part of a capital and business alliance with So-Two Co., Ltd. ONIGO also conducted an additional third-party allotment of shares to So-Two, tightening that partnership.
ONIGO CEO Naoya Umeshita said the collaboration has confirmed that ESCom's food manufacturing expertise and ONIGO's technology and delivery network complement each other strongly. The company plans to develop original prepared foods for its platform while raising the value of existing ESCom brands such as Tori Puro and Edomae Bikkuri Sushi.
