File No. 333-262330

 

Dear Ms. Geddes:

 

Yoshiharu Global Co. (the “Company”) confirms receipt of the letter dated May 16, 2022, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the above-referenced filing. We are responding to the Staff’s comment as set forth below. The Staff’s comment is set forth below, followed by the Company’s response in bold:

 

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Capitalization, page 37

 

1. It is unclear how you have revised your document in response to our previous comment As such, we reissue the comment. Please provide us with your calculations of the amounts of cash and additional paid-in-capital presented in the “Pro Forma As Adjusted” and “Pro Forma As Adjusted with Over-Allotment Option” columns. Specifically:

 

● It does not appear the net proceeds presented in Use of Proceeds on page of $16,380,000 and $18,837,000 respectively, agrees to the changes between actual amounts as of December 31, 2021 and the as adjusted columns. Confirm our understanding that the net proceeds presented on page 6 considers the other expenses of issuance and distribution of $825,000 as detailed on page II-1. If our understanding is correct, please explain to us why it appears a further $825,000 has been deducted from Cash and Equivalents in each pro forma column here.

 

● Further, please revise your disclosure to specifically state the compensation expense associated with 549,100 shares issued to Directors and consultants.

 

● In addition, since you are issuing 4,000,000 Class A shares on an as adjusted basis and 4,600,000 Class A shares with the over-allotment option, please explain how you determined pro forma outstanding shares of 13,000,000 and the pro forma as adjusted with over-allotment shares of 13,600,000 when you had 9,450,000 outstanding Class A shares on an actual basis at December 31, 2021.

 

Additionally, please revise to include stock subscriptions receivable as a component of your stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2021 and revise to include disclosure of your total capitalization on an actual basis, on a pro forma as adjusted basis and as adjusted for the over-allotment option.
