Den Corner restaurants (Izakaya Den, OTOTO and Sushi Den) will donate $20,000 to disaster relief charities, owner Toshi Kizaki shared.
The annual Den Rooftop Party, a fundraiser focused on charities dedicated to hurricane and earthquake humanitarian efforts, hosted over 1500 people over two days in October.
Guests enjoyed an authentic Japanese street fair courtesy of 20 guest chefs from Japan. The visiting chefs served traditional Yakisoba, Yakitori, Yakiniku, over six types of ramen and Japanese fried chicken. Den Corner’s infamous sushi and Japanese sake, beer and Shochu cocktails rounded out the menu.
