Providing hungry kamaaina with oishii sushi, bentos and more

Teriyaki Chicken Bento ($7.99)

The year 1972 saw the emergence of some significant inventions and events. For example, Atari initiated the original era of video games by releasing Pong, digital watches hit the market, and Sapporo hosted the Winter Olympic Games in Japan.

Another auspicious development occurred in 1972, when Kozo Sushi opened its first store in Osaka, Japan. The young sushi business filled a gap in the market, between an okazuya and an expensive sushi bar — and the company expanded with locations throughout Japan. Fast-forward to now, Kozo Sushi has five successful locations on Oahu — one in Moiliili across the old Stadium Park and the others in Kahala Mall, Pearl City and Pearlridge Center, and on Keeaumoku Street.
