  • Is this a charitable event?
    With our Rooftop Party co-sponsored with 5280 Magazine, we have decided to share donations raised from this event to these 2 charities below:

    • Kumamoto Castle Earthquake Relief   
      Kumamoto is our hometown in southern Japan. It is nestled in the mountains and forest and known for the pure waters and lush greenery. The nearby sea provides an abundance of seafood. This seafood is often served at our restaurants. We also have a famous castle called Kumamoto Castle, built in 1467. It is the only black castle and one of the top 3 most beautiful castles in Japan. We have a special connection with this castle. Our ancestors were Samurai and served under this very castle. This sense of protecting Kumamoto Castle is in our being. However, in April of 2016, we had an unprecedented earthquake which struck and devastated the Kumamoto area. Our hometown is still rebuilding and like previous years, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the earthquake relief agencies in Japan, including the ongoing and painstaking restoration of Kumamoto Castle.
    • We Don’t Waste
      “We Don’t Waste an innovative food recovery organization reducing food waste by recovering food from venues, events, caterers, restaurants and major food distributors, then deliver the food to community-based non-profit agencies serving vulnerable populations, increasing food security within those populations. We are the link between food sources and the underserved.”
  • Who are the chefs?
  • What kind of food do you serve?
    • We are serving Japanese comfort food for the soul, including Ramen, Okonomiyaki, Gyoza, and BBQ/Yakiniku, etc. These are typically served as street food called Yatai, also found at festivals across Japan.
    • Chefs from Denver will be serving their own version of the street food.
