Members Only @ Kaimuki Shokudo
Over 55 members networked with fellow members at the Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce's (HJCC) very first Members Only @ Kaimuki Shokudo event which was held on Monday, October 21. Members got to enjoy 6 of Kaimuki Shokudo's favorite izakaya items including the ume oroshi shiso soba, washugyu beef curry, hamachi carpaccio, mentai mochi spring roll, Okinawan sweet potato salad, and chicken karaage which were deliciously paired with a sampling of Kikusi sake, yuzu umeshu spritz, and yuzu highball. Members got to meet brand new members and reconnect with long-time members at this special private event.
The "Members Only" event is a new series of events planned by the HJCC's Membership Development Committee that will focus on HJCC's guiding principle of "Members Supporting Members". These events will feature exclusive experiences from our very own member businesses and will only be open to current HJCC members.
A big mahalo to the Kaimuki Shokudo staff for accommodating us and taking time to explain all of the food pairings to our members! Congratulations to the event planning committee James Kaneshiro, Kathryn Fujitani, and Renni Fay Iwasa as well as MDC Chair Kacie Hirotsu for a very successful event!
