YO! is part of The Snowfox Group, the leading international, multi-channel Japanese food business. The Group brings together and drives sustainable growth across four outstanding brands – Snowfox, Bento, YO! Taiko – serving a large and growing international customer base.

Selling 60m trays of sushi a year, Snowfox takes leading positions in attractive and growing Japanese food markets: #1 in UK, #1 in Canada, #2 in USA.
