Last week, KGD celebrated our clients, teaming partners, and 30 Years! That’s right, our famed Sushi and Sake event returned after being on hiatus since 2019.

What started as a humble gathering with those who entrusted KGD for their projects, culminated on April 8 into our greatest gathering to date for sushi, sake, and even kushiyaki fare. We had beautifully crafted origami cranes throughout the office along with illuminated lanterns. There was also a private corner space set up for guests to make their own origami creations, following various templates with instructions and a vast selection of Japanese craft papers. Lastly, as each guest departed, we presented them with a token gift of bespoke chocolate bonbons featuring miso and caramel, strawberry matcha, and ube with toasted coconut flavorings.

KGD Principal and Co-President Manoj Dalaya best sums up the night in sharing, “This was an evening that reflected the strength of our relationships, warmly shared, with a clear reminder that our best work is built on trust, collaboration, and appreciation. Our thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate.”
