"The Reason for 26 Years From opening “Sushiya” in 1985 to closing “Katsuzuki” in 2011, we ran a Japanese restaurant in Silicon Valley for about a quarter of a century. It might be a cliché, but it was full of ups and downs. At times it was enjoyable, at other times it was hard, but every day we ran with all our might. Through this process, we realized many things and acquired many skills. Finally, I would like to reflect on what we learned."
