Mutual Trading introduces Edomae Sushi to America

Chain of events and friendship between Noritoshi Kanai, then general manager at Mutual Trading, and the company's consultant, Harry Wolff Jr., hit on an idea of bringing Edomae Sushi to America. Kanai scouts Sushi Chef Saito from Tsukiji, and coining the word "Sushi Bar", sets to introduce Edomae Sushi to Americans at Kawafuku Restaurant, succeeding in 1965. Shortly thereafter, Eigiku Cafe and Tokyo Kaikan follow.
