OUR TEAM
Kaizen Dining Group was founded by President and CEO David Lee. Lee was exposed to fine Japanese cuisine at a young age, and although initially pursued a career in engineering, soon emerged as one of California’s most prominent restaurateurs. The Kabuki menu is led by R&D Director and Executive Corporate Chef Masa Kurihara. Born in Tokyo, he began his career at age 18 as a dishwasher while attending the prestigious Tokyo Culinary School. Kurihara made his way to Washington D.C. where he worked for the Japanese Ambassador to the United States before making a move to California and joining the Kabuki team more than ten years ago.
