With over 24 years of experience in the Japanese and Korean food and restaurant industry, Morup Namgyal is a restaurateur and entrepreneur with a deep-rooted understanding of Asian cuisine, ingredients, culture and hospitality. His journey with Japanese cuisine began in 2000, when he worked with Japanese businesses in India and was involved in establishing Yamato Ya, a Japanese convenience store in Delhi. In 2004, he ventured into importing authentic Japanese ingredients from Japan, supplying leading hotels and restaurants across India. In 2012, he founded Kofuku in Mumbai, with a vision to make authentic Japanese cuisine more accessible beyond five-star hotels. What began as a single restaurant in Bandra West has since grown into an established Japanese restaurant brand with a presence across multiple cities. In 2016, he expanded his culinary portfolio with Hengbok, a Korean restaurant brand, further strengthening his association with authentic East Asian cuisine.
