“My perspective as an entrepreneur in the food industry has been shaped by Myanmar’s culture and values. In sushi-making, I prioritize responsibly sourced seafood, inspired by Myanmar’s respect for quality in cuisine.

Attention to detail, influenced by my heritage, ensures meticulous preparation and presentation of Hissho Sushi’s products. Emphasizing hospitality and community, drawn from Myanmar’s values, I focus on customer satisfaction and building a sense of community around the brand.

Lastly, Myanmar’s resilience and innovation have instilled adaptability and a drive for innovation, guiding strategies to navigate challenges and stand out in the market.”

“Navigating the intersection of different cultures, particularly for an Asian American entrepreneur like me, requires a blend of cultural awareness, adaptability, and openness to learning.

I embrace and celebrate my cultural heritage while also integrating elements of American culture into my personal and professional life. I act as a bridge between different cultural perspectives, fostering understanding and collaboration between individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Embracing diversity and leveraging cultural insights has helped me navigate the complexities of multicultural environments and harness the strengths of diverse perspectives to drive personal and professional success.”

“I had drawn inspiration from Asian culinary traditions to enhance the offerings of Hissho Sushi from time to time. I also organized cultural events or themed at Hissho to celebrate Asian culture and heritage.

These events could include cooking demonstrations, cultural performances, or educational workshops to engage customers and showcase the rich diversity of Asian culinary traditions.”

“We employed a combination of culinary expertise, cultural sensitivity, and customer feedback.

By balancing tradition with innovation, we continue to offer an experience that respects the heritage of sushi while embracing the tastes and preferences of its American audience. We also offer a diverse selection of sushi rolls, from the customer favorite, Krispy Krab, a veggie roll, refreshing raw tataki tuna rolls, to our innovative and collaborative promotions, there is a roll for everyone.”

“I usually celebrate by supporting philanthropic initiatives that benefit Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, both in the United States and abroad.

During Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I want to emphasize the importance of embracing diversity, celebrating cultural heritage, and recognizing the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the fabric of American society.

I encourage others to learn about and appreciate the diverse cultures, traditions, and experiences within the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, fostering unity, understanding, and respect among all individuals.”
