Saikabo (Japanese: 妻家房, Korean: 사이카보 or 처가방) is a multi-national chain of Korean restaurants and food stores based in Japan. Its original location in Yotsuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo, first began as a Korean food store in April 1993, and was converted into a restaurant and Kimchi Museum (キムチ博物館, 김치박물관) in 1996.[1][2][3]
The business rose to prominence during the late 1990s and 2000s, as part of the Korean Wave. As of October 2023[update], the chain has fourteen locations in various cities in Japan, including Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Yokohama. They also have five more stores and restaurants under various subbrands, including Pab-sang and Nyam2.[4][5] The chain has operated at least 45 different locations over time.[6][7] It also has locations in Taiwan, as well as Japanese food stores and restaurants in various cities in South Korea.
