He received his MBA at Columbia University and undergraduate degree from Osaka University.
Has it been a smooth road?
It has been adventurous! What started in 1997 in Philadelphia as a single sushi restaurant, Genji, has transformed into one of Whole Foods Market’s largest sushi providers, allowing Peace Dining Corporation (PDC) to serve both the United States and the United Kingdom with almost 250 in-store sushi bars. Since 1997, PDC has practiced an honest & transparent culture when it comes to our food. We’ve always followed strict standards for sustainability and only work with the most-respected suppliers who are able to meet rigorous requirements, including certifying the quality of our products. We’re continually evolving our business to reach out of sushi into other pan-Asian food genres to create unique and exciting shop-in-shop destination for our clients.
We’d love to hear more about your business.

Our driving mission is to become the top provider of all natural Japanese-inspired cuisine through growth and innovation.
