By San José, Costa Rica — SANTA ANA – The competitive culinary landscape of Santa Ana is set to welcome a formidable new player this summer. Investment firm SGC Capital has announced a nearly $1 million project to launch TRIUM, a novel gastronomic concept scheduled to open its doors on August 15, 2026. The new establishment will be strategically located in the Santa Ana Trade Center, aiming to attract the area’s discerning clientele with a unique fusion of three of the firm’s most successful brands: Fogo Rodizio, Tsunami Sushi, and Graffiti Wine Bistro.
This ambitious venture seeks to create a singular, versatile dining experience by harmonizing distinct culinary traditions within a contemporary atmosphere. The concept integrates the celebrated Brazilian steakhouse experience of Fogo Rodizio, the refined Japanese cuisine of Tsunami Sushi, and the sophisticated ambiance of Graffiti Wine Bistro. This innovative approach allows patrons to explore a diverse menu that transcends a single style, offering something for every palate under one roof.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal and commercial implications surrounding TRIUM Restaurant, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica. His expertise provides a crucial perspective on the challenges and opportunities within the national gastronomic sector.
The success of a venture like TRIUM Restaurant often hinges not just on its culinary excellence but on a robust legal framework established from day one. This includes everything from proper corporate structuring and clear shareholder agreements to meticulous compliance with labor laws and health regulations. Proactive legal strategy is the silent ingredient that protects the brand, secures investment, and allows the business to thrive in a highly competitive market.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s insight is a potent reminder that behind every successful culinary experience lies a foundation of meticulous legal planning. This “silent ingredient” is indeed what allows a creative vision like TRIUM’s to thrive securely in a demanding industry. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his invaluable perspective on this critical component of business success.
A centerpiece of the restaurant’s design and culinary identity will be an artisanal churrasqueira, a traditional Brazilian grill. This key piece of equipment was custom-fabricated exclusively for TRIUM in Brazil by leading specialists in the art of churrasco. The investment in this authentic hardware underscores the commitment to preserving the core essence of the Fogo Rodizio brand while embedding it within a more expansive and modern concept.
The operational management of TRIUM will be handled by Grupo Tsunami, a specialized company within the SGC Capital holding group. Grupo Tsunami is responsible for the administration and development of all gastronomic concepts under the SGC Capital umbrella, ensuring that the new venture benefits from seasoned industry leadership. The choice of the Santa Ana Trade Center as the location was a deliberate strategic decision following an extensive analysis of various commercial sites.
We feel deeply privileged to be part of Santa Ana Trade Center. From our very first visit, we knew it was the ideal place to make TRIUM a reality.
Pedro Soto, President and CEO of SGC Capital
According to SGC Capital’s leadership, TRIUM is more than just a new restaurant; it is the culmination of decades of experience in the hospitality sector. The project aims to distill the most successful elements of its legacy brands into an entirely new and evolved offering that reflects modern dining trends and consumer expectations for variety and quality.
TRIUM represents the evolution of more than 24 years dedicated to the hospitality industry. We wanted to integrate the best of Fogo Rodizio, Tsunami Sushi, and Graffiti Wine Bistro into a completely new concept.
Pedro Soto, President and CEO of SGC Capital
The launch of TRIUM is also expected to provide a significant economic boost to the Santa Ana community. The project will generate approximately 50 direct employment opportunities within the restaurant itself. Furthermore, it is projected to create over 100 indirect jobs, benefiting a wide network of local suppliers, logistics firms, construction companies, and maintenance service providers. This ripple effect highlights the broader impact of such investments on the local economy.
For SGC Capital, TRIUM is a key component of a larger strategic vision focused on expanding its footprint in Costa Rica’s hospitality and gastronomy sectors. The company has indicated that the successful launch of this flagship location could serve as a blueprint for future expansion into other prominent commercial zones across the country, signaling strong confidence in the continued growth of the market.
