  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Asahi Food, Inc. for receiving the 2017 Business on the Move Award.
   The Business on the Move Award recognizes businesses bringing new 
employment, growth in sales, or new capital investment to the city in 
the last year. Asahi Food was founded six years ago in Commerce City by 
Owner and President, Paul Guan. The business began with one client, 
Hapa Sushi in Denver, and today is a leading seafood supplier, 
delivering fresh-cut fish for more than 200 restaurants in Colorado and 
surrounding states. Their General Manager is Charlene Thai, founder of 
the Asian Restaurant Association.
   Asahi Food is also extremely involved in the community and is an 
active member of the Takayama Sister Cities organization, Japan 
American Society of Colorado, and other Japanese community groups. They 
are also active with the local Chinese and Taiwanese communities.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to the Asahi Food, Inc. for this 
well-deserved recognition by Commerce City.
