/ About this event
Last year, Kodai Takahashi — founder of Japan's #1 silk haircare brand SILK THE RICH — filled a room with founders, operators, and creators over sushi and sake.
We're doing it again.
Sushi Night is for the people building where beauty, culture, and technology meet. Japanese hospitality, real conversations, no projector slides.
We start at 4pm and wrap by 7pm, so you can still make your dinner plans.
WHAT TO EXPECT ▸ Omakase style bites and Japanese sake ▸ A short fireside with founders scaling Asian heritage consumer brands in the U.S. ▸ Curated introductions
WHO SHOULD COME Consumer and beauty founders, brand operators, investors covering consumer and AI, creators and press in the category.
YOUR HOST Kodai Takahashi, CEO of SILK THE RICH USA. Born in Kagoshima, Japan. Moved to LA two years ago with a backpack and a plan to bring Japanese beauty to the world. Now in 12,000+ retail doors across 189 countries. Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026.
