The Nakato Family is very saddened by the loss of Joe Nakato.  We would like to thank the Springfield Community for all of their overwhelming support during these difficult times.  Although Joe could never be replaced, the Nakato Family stays committed in sustaining Nakato Restaurant as an integral part of Springfield.  We would like to thank the many regular customers and all the past and present employees of the restaurant for help making Nakato Restaurant a successful establishment.

God bless you, Joe.  May your smile keep shining!
