🎉 25 Years of WASABIYA 🎉
This month marks two years since I took over Wasabiya. But did you know? Last week, the previous owner, Hiro, reminded me that June 19th was Wasabiya’s 25th anniversary.
When I took over the restaurant two years ago, I never imagined how much I would learn and grow through this experience.
Since our friends at Koto Japanese Restaurant closed, we have become the only Japanese-owned Japanese restaurant in Campbell River. It’s not always easy, but I will continue doing my best to keep Wasabiya running for as long as possible, with pride as a Japanese owner.
Thank you for supporting Wasabiya over the past 25 years. We truly couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏🍣
Looking back at my post from two years ago when I took over Wasabiya, I feel a renewed sense of commitment and gratitude. I will continue working hard to serve our community and carry on the tradition that has made Wasabiya a part of Campbell River for 25 years.
Owner & Chef Hiroki
