OSAKA -- Sushi chain Sushiro will open more locations in China and other Asian markets over the next three years, in one of the most aggressive international expansions by a Japanese restaurant brand.

Food & Life Cos., the operator of the Sushiro chain, looks to increase international locations to around 200 by September 2024, more than triple the current tally of 59, under a three-year plan released Friday.
