Harajuku Tokyo Café, an India-based Japanese food and beverage chain that also operates Harajuku Bakehouse, said on October 23 it raised US$3 million in a pre-series A round led by Zero W.

Existing investors Indian Angel Network and Samved VC joined the round, along with new backers including Blume Founders Fund and Rahul Jain, co-founder of Epigamia.

The company said Mumbai now contributes 25% of revenue after Harajuku entered the city in July 2025.

Over the next two quarters, it plans to open 10 outlets across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chandigarh, as it enters Bengaluru and Chandigarh for the first time.

Harajuku also plans to open central kitchens in Mumbai and Bengaluru by December 2026.

The chain already operates in Delhi NCR and raised US$2 million in August 2025 for expansion.
