Future Bright (HKG:0703) formed a joint venture with an independent third party to develop, operate and manage food and beverage businesses in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong, according to a Tuesday Hong Kong bourse filing.

The partner is wholly owned by Japanese food-and-beverage entrepreneur Takuro Yanase, who operates four ramen restaurants in Tokyo, the filing said.
Shares of the firm were down nearly 9% in recent trading.
