(NASDAQ: YOSH) ("Yoshiharu" or the "Company"), a restaurant operator specializing in authentic Japanese ramen & rolls, today announced that, effective September 3, 2025, it has changed its corporate name to Vestand Inc.

The corporate website has also been updated to http://vestand.com/. Corporate-Level Crypto Treasury Strategy Vestand is preparing to implement a corporate Crypto Treasury strategy designed to move beyond simple asset holding and position digital assets as a core component of its capital structure. By leveraging Bitcoin and other major digital assets, the Company intends to create a framework that combines stable shareholder returns with the upside potential of digital asset growth. The Company plans to collaborate with a leading U.S. investment bank to expand access to global institutional investor networks and is preparing to build a meaningful Crypto Treasury portfolio through a phased approach. Integration with PropTech and Real Estate Alongside its Crypto Treasury strategy, Vestand continues to expand its real estate portfolio with capital secured from U.S. and Korean investors. By combining real estate investments with Security Token Offering (STO) structures, Vestand aims to establish a platform that integrates its PropTech initiatives with its Crypto Treasury strategy. This dual approach is designed to balance stable cash flows with growth opportunities in digital assets. Strengthening Internal Controls Under the leadership of its CEO and CFO, Vestand has implemented a robust internal control framework to reinforce transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance.

By integrating our PropTech initiatives with a structured Crypto Treasury strategy, we believe Vestand can deliver differentiated, long-term value to global capital markets and our shareholders.
