Building Enduring Businesses Across the United States and Japan
Arugula Holdings International, LLC is a private holding company focused on building, acquiring, and supporting businesses with durable potential in the United States and Japan. We take a long-term approach to ownership: protect what already works, strengthen operations, and apply practical technology where it creates meaningful value.
Our interests include operating companies, business succession opportunities, selective real estate investments, and ventures that benefit from a US–Japan perspective. We look for situations where patient ownership, disciplined execution, and thoughtful modernization can support the next stage of growth.

Long-Term Business Stewardship
Our Approach
We evaluate every opportunity through three principles:
Build for the Long Term
We pursue businesses and assets with sound fundamentals, useful products or services, and the potential to create enduring value—not short-term financial engineering.
Preserve What Matters
In succession and acquisition situations, we respect the people, customer relationships, operating knowledge, and community trust that made the business valuable in the first place.
Improve with Purpose
We strengthen operations through clear management, reliable systems, and appropriately scaled technology, introducing change where it improves resilience, service, or sustainable growth.
How We Create Value
Our approach combines long-term ownership, disciplined operations, and practical technology to help businesses become stronger and more resilient.
Business Succession & Stewardship
Working toward responsible ownership transitions that respect a company’s people, customers, history, and long-term potential.
Reliable Systems & Operations
Applying proven technology and reliability practices to reduce operational risk, improve visibility, and support dependable growth.
Connected Operations
Exploring fit-for-purpose automation, monitoring, communications, and IoT solutions where they can improve safety, service, or efficiency.
Operational Discipline
Bringing clear processes, useful metrics, and resilient operating practices to the day-to-day work of building durable companies.
Security & Risk Awareness
Treating cybersecurity, privacy, continuity, and responsible governance as essential parts of modern business operations.
US–Japan Business Perspective
Drawing on experience in both markets to evaluate cross-border opportunities with respect for local business practices, regulation, and culture.
Six Strategic Focus Areas
We explore opportunities across six areas where patient ownership, disciplined execution, and practical technology can create long-term value.
Start a Conversation
We welcome conversations with business owners considering succession, founders seeking a long-term partner, and organizations exploring thoughtful opportunities between the United States and Japan.
