Del Mundo Group of Companies warmly congratulates and welcomes Mr. Yukihiro Ambiru on his appointment as President of WithLink Holdings Co., Ltd.
WithLink, a Hiroshima-based company founded in 1992, has built a strong global presence in restaurant management, with brands such as Bari-Uma, Tori-no-Suke, Fu-Un-Maru, and Buchiton, now operating 75+ stores worldwide.
Since becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yoshinoya Holdings Co., Ltd. in 2019, WithLink has continued to expand its reach and influence in the international F&B landscape.
Bari-Uma continues to grow as a truly international ramen brand, with presence across Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Scotlandโbringing the bold and authentic taste of Hiroshima to the global stage. Here in the Philippines, both Bari-Uma and Buchiton are made more accessible to the local market while maintaining authenticity, with key ingredients flown directly from Hiroshima. This reflects our strong commitment to delivering the richest and most authentic tonkotsu ramen experience to Philippine market โsomething we take great pride in.
Buchiton, currently available in the Philippines, is also set to expand internationally, with its upcoming opening in Hong Kongโfurther strengthening the brandโs regional presence.
During his recent visit to the Philippines, Mr. Ambiru personally toured all Buchiton and Bari-Uma stores across Metro Manilaโproudly franchised by Del Mundo Groupโfurther strengthening the partnership between our organizations. He also graced the Franchise Expo 2026 held at SMX Pasay City last April 24โ26, where DMG showcased Buchiton to potential local franchise partners.
We believe that this initiative will open doors for wider expansion, allowing more cities across the Philippines to experience authentic Hiroshima-style ramen. Our shared vision is to make this distinct Japanese culinary experience more accessible to Filipinos nationwide.
โAs we welcome President Ambiru, we are excited to deepen our partnership with WithLink and accelerate the growth of Buchiton and Bari-Uma in the Philippines. Our goal is to bring authentic Hiroshima ramen closer to more Filipino communities, and we see strong potential through franchising and strategic expansion,โ said Nelson del Mundo, CEO of Del Mundo Group.
โI am grateful for the warm welcome and proud to see how our brands are being represented in the Philippines. Del Mundo Group has demonstrated strong commitment to quality and operations. We look forward to growing together and sharing the authentic taste of Hiroshima with even more customers across the country,โ said Yukihiro Ambiru, President of WithLink Holdings Co., Ltd.
