We risked with a new approach with sushi-which led to the dining experience to try the Japanese cuisine through a fun and accessible lens,” said Osaka. “For the community that gathered around our transport belt, we shared countless meals, and embraced our vision: Thank you. For the employees, they made this vision come to life: we could not do this without you.”
Osaka said that he is open to opportunities as he searches for his upcoming cooking endeavors and has talented employees looking for new opportunities as well.
