Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Kampai Japanese Steakhouse of Vestal, New York, on December 19, 2025

This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (not a bill) commemorating Kampai Japanese Steakhouse's 50th anniversary on December 19, 2025. It recognizes the restaurant's history as Binghamton's first hibachi establishment (opened 1975 by Richard Matsushima), its role in the community, and its family-owned operation passed to his sons. The resolution contains no policy changes or funding; it solely expresses legislative recognition and will be presented to the Matsushima family. It directly affects the restaurant owners and their legacy, with no broader impact on laws or constituents.
