Benihana Hosts Heritage Tour to Tokyo
MIAMI, June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the second consecutive year, Benihana (NASDAQ:BNHN) (NASDAQ:BNHNA) is hosting a first-class, customer appreciation trip to Japan. Departing on September 17, 2005, this year's adventure will take customers to the cosmopolitan city of Tokyo. A special price of $1,249.00 per person includes round-trip airfare to Tokyo on Japan Airlines from Los Angeles or San Francisco, hotel transfers and four nights' accommodations at the prestigious Keio Plaza, located in the heart of Tokyo. In addition, guests will enjoy a memorable welcome dinner party and have the opportunity to explore the city and its surrounding countryside by choosing from many optional customized sightseeing tours.
"Because Japanese culture holds family history in such high regard, I always enjoy hearing stories about my grandfather, Yunosuke Aoki, who opened a small coffee shop in Tokyo in 1948," said Kevin Aoki, Benihana vice president of marketing. "In fact, growing up in that environment gave my father, Rocky Aoki, the idea to launch his first Benihana restaurant in the U.S. in 1964." Continues the third generation restauranteur, "It is a privilege for Benihana to celebrate its heritage and culture by offering this trip to our loyal customers."
In staying with the cultural theme, guests can experience a private early morning tour of the famous Tsukiji fish market. In addition, they will have a wide variety of optional tours to choose from, including enjoying a sake tasting, attending a sumo tournament and taking a side trip to Mt. Fuji.
Benihana is proud to host this tour in conjunction with JALPAK and Pepsi. Space is limited. For additional information or to reserve your place, go to http://www.gotokyo.jp/ or http://www.benihana.com/ or call 1-877-BENIHANA.
