Mr. Takenaka,
I am attaching the following article for you to read.
Recently I have read this article on the Forum section of myspace.com
regarding a grievance expressed by a family who had gone to the
Benihana's of Santa Monica, California.
The article was written by Habi-Bees of Santa Monica.
I was quite infuriated after having read that article.
The Forum section is entitled: "Japanese Food Lovers Unite".
It is read daily by thousands of readers, and it's also my favorite
website.
After reading that article on how the family of Habi-Bees was treated
at the Benhihana's of Santa Monica, I e-mailed to your Customer
Relations several times inquiring about the incident. I have yet to
get any response from you.
This is a matter of great concern not only to those who enjoy visiting
Benhihana's but to many hundreds, perhaps even thousands of the readers
who read that Forum.

I would certainly appreciate if you could let me know how the
investigation is going regarding that incident.

Ms. Habi-Bees has a popular website at:
www.myspace.com/beesk

Also, I am certain that there are many readers who are expressing a
feeling of outrage at the treatment received by the family, if the
description of the incident in that article is true. As of this
moment, I cannot take any position as to who was right or wrong in that
incident that took place at the Benhihana's .
I also wrote to Michi Shiraishi, the Manager of Benihana's of Santa
Monica:
Michi Shiraishi , Manager (310) 260-1423.
c/o BENIHANA'S in Santa Monica

I have yet to receive any response from her.
Please respond to this inquiry as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your attention.

I hope that somehow, Mr. Takenaka will read this.
