Wow...Been awhile!

Sorry friends of SDV, we have been neglecting this blog as we have been blogging on another site about our restaurant KaMu...
It's good to get back here for a minute, as we have lots to catch up about!! So sit back, grab a cup of coffee...

KaMu www.kamu-tokyo.blogspot.com/ is doing well in this blistering hot days of summer. being that we are underground, air conditioned and have a great chilled white wine by the glass list....I can see the attraction! We are now in the process of finishing a presentation for investors of another KaMu, we feel strongly in a more visible location we could be much more successful.
KaMu has a great feel to it and a great cast of characters behind it. Now is a good time as tsubo prices around affluent areas are dropping. I still think KaMu could compete in a prime market area, but I also like the thought of being a great neighborhood spot too.

We have finished our contract with Izanami ...Thanks guys!!

We are currently in negotiations with Solare Hotels to put a possible new concept in one of their managed properties. This is a great company and we really hope we can do this project. We have been talking for about 2 months now, and I think we are nearing a decision time. This we hope could lead to more concept development with Solare or other hotel groups in Japan, and this concept we hope has enough energy to be branded and franchised....plus this is fun!

SDV is partnering with MHD (Dom Perignon specifically) to present their clientele with a catering option paired with a flight of Dom. We will be the official caterers for Dom Perignon dinners in Japan in not only private residences but also in restaurants and function spaces. I had the pleasure of working with Dom Perignon/ Moet et Chandon chef de cuisine Pascal Tingaud two weeks ago. If doing work that event with him is any indication of how the rest of the events with MHD will go is....This will also be a blast!!

Lastly (for now) we are partnering in a joint venture with Unified Dining (Nelson Surjon) to open a restaurant/nightspot called UNION. This really is a "union" of two companies, three friends, several ideas...into a truly unique to Tokyo space. We have some high profile investors lined up thanks to Nelson's amazing abilities, and we are currently looking for a space. Anybody else interested in joining the party? Contact us directly...

We also have several other quasi projects orbiting our world right now thanks to the dynamic vision and energy know simply as "Big J" He truly is our secret weapon and the deciding factor....plus a snazzy dresser....kinda the ying to my underdressed yang...

Gotta run, doing a private dinner tonight...Hope everyone is well!! Drop us a line sometime!
