Returning to Hoshizaki’s booth #6207 this year will be the incomparable Chris Leavitt (@notjustabartender) performing live demonstrations of Hoshizaki specialty ice, like the stunning 2by2 cube, impressive sphere ice, and four other types of ice.

A first at NRA, Hoshizaki is proud to support the National Restaurant Show’s Sustainability Initiative by providing water bottle refill stations throughout the show floor so you can #HydrateWithHoshizaki. You can find them by the main stages in each hall as well as in the Hoshizaki booth.

Introducing Valiance® by Hoshizaki: Smart-Value Refrigeration

The Valiance® line emerges as an entry-level option designed for operators seeking reliable and quality refrigeration solutions that offer exceptional value. This new, cost-effective line will launch with the following models with plans to rapidly add to the line-up.

• One and two-section reach-in refrigerators and freezers
• Undercounter one and two-section refrigerators and freezers
• Two prep tables

While Hoshizaki's Steelheart® line remains the gold standard for high-volume demands and longevity, market insights indicated the need for a more accessible line. Valiance® meets this need, providing a robust product that ensures efficient operation without straining budgets.

Key Features of Valiance®:

• Reliability: Consistent performance for seamless operations.
• Practicality: Designed for ease of use and maintenance.
• Smart-Value: Competitive pricing for business growth.

Choose Valiance® for proven performance and peace of mind at a price that aligns with your business goals.

Enhancements to Steelheart®

In conjunction with the Valiance® launch, Hoshizaki has enhanced its Steelheart® line with an all 7’s warranty—covering 7 years for labor, parts, and compressor effective on all models manufactured since January 1, 2025. Additionally, solid stainless steel doors on reach-in models are now protected under the new Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Steelheart®: Industry-Leading Performance

 “Steelheart® is the best in the industry,” remarked Seth Sawyer, Director of Product Development, Refrigeration at Hoshizaki America. “It’s a proven leader in performance, and as such, it deserves an industry-level warranty.”

Steelheart® is engineered for the most demanding kitchens, offering an ever-expanding range of products and new configurability options. It empowers operators to tailor their kitchen to their unique vision and operational needs. The new all 7’s warranty with limited lifetime coverage on doors reinforces Hoshizaki’s commitment to their top-tier offering and its lasting durability.

In addition to the expanded warranty, Hoshizaki continues to expand the Steelheart® line:

• NEW UR27B-LPD3: 27” Low-Profile Undercounter 3-Drawer Refrigerator: Ideal for busy kitchens with limited space and specific ingredient needs.
• NEW SR60B-24MFC: 60” Double-Sided Flat Lid Prep Table: Perfect for QSRs, allowing dual operator access while keeping product cold.
• NEW Chef Base Freezers with right or left-side refrigeration, perfect for easy access from freezer to cooktop with less steps.

By expanding both its product lines and warranty offerings, Hoshizaki continues to demonstrate its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction in the commercial refrigeration industry.
