  • Japanese Restaurant Hanasanshou at Park Hotel Tokyo Presents Kaiseki in an Art-Filled Tokyo Hotel

    A new encounter of art and kaiseki, offering a sensory dining experience shaped by contemporary art and tradition.

    MINATO-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — At Hanasanshou, located on the 25th floor of Park Hotel Tokyo (operated by Shiba Park Hotel Co., Ltd.; Minato City, Tokyo, President & CEO Rentaro Yanase), kaiseki cuisine embodying traditional Japanese aesthetics is served in a distinctive space surrounded by contemporary artworks displayed throughout the hotel. Extending the unique artistic worldview that begins in the lobby, Hanasanshou offers an extraordinary dining experience defined by its immersive setting.

    The essence of Hanasanshou lies above all in its Dashi. In recent years, Dashi has gained global recognition as the foundation of “Umami,” and is often described overseas as Dashi stock or Japanese broth, drawing attention as the core of Japanese food. At Hanasanshou, meticulous attention is devoted to every stage of Dashi preparation, from the careful selection of ingredients to precise extraction methods.
    Premium natural kelp from Rishiri, Hokkaido, is used to draw out a clear, refined Umami. Different types of Dashi are prepared according to the purpose of each dish, including separate broths for soups and simmered courses. In particular, the “Owan” (clear soup), which expresses the character of Dashi in its purest form, is regarded as the main dish of Hanasanshou. This careful craftsmanship forms the foundation of its profound flavors and offers a direct experience of authentic Umami.

    A Unique Fusion of Contemporary Art and Japanese Cuisine
    Inside Hanasanshou, diverse contemporary artworks symbolizing Park Hotel Tokyo are displayed throughout the dining space. The creativity of art resonates with the refined aesthetics of kaiseki cuisine, creating experiential value beyond dining itself.
    Each visit evokes a renewed sensibility. Such a singular experience is distinctive to Park Hotel Tokyo, which continues to evolve as an art-focused Tokyo hotel.

    Culinary Style: Traditional Kaiseki
    Hanasanshou carefully upholds the three fundamental principles of kaiseki cuisine while expressing them with contemporary sensibility:

    Usage of seasonal ingredients
    Respect and enhancement of the natural flavors of each ingredient
    Providing hospitality with attentive care
    Each dish carries its own narrative, with meticulous attention paid to taste, aroma, presentation, and tableware selection.

    Dedication to Dashi, the Decisive Element of Umami
    It is no exaggeration to state that Dashi defines the true value of Hanasanshou.
    Elegant, clear Umami derived from natural Rishiri kelp
    Carefully differentiated broths tailored to each dish
    The Owan course, often positioned at the center of the menu, symbolizing the restaurant’s philosophy
    This dedication to Dashi supports the very foundation of flavor at Hanasanshou.

    Commitment to Ingredients: Seasonality and Sustainability
    A central spirit of kaiseki cuisine lies in honoring seasonality and the passage of time. Each dish reflects seasonal blessings, allowing guests to sense the changing seasons through cuisine.
    As part of our efforts toward a sustainable society, we use a selection of cage-free eggs raised with consideration for animal welfare, striving to provide cuisine in harmony with nature.

    Adapting to Climate Change While Preserving Tradition
    Recent climate change has made it increasingly difficult to rely solely on ingredients traditionally aligned with Japan’s four seasons. In response, Hanasanshou flexibly incorporates high-quality overseas ingredients such as porcini mushrooms.
    Preserving tradition while adapting to the contemporary natural environment forms part of Hanasanshou’s culinary philosophy, omakase-style course menus highlight the chef’s seasonal selections.

  • Adora POS Launches OLO V3, Advancing Digital Ordering Performance for Modern Pizzerias

    New Online Ordering Release Delivers Precision Marketing, Integrated Loyalty, and Enterprise-Level Control

    ROSEVILLE, CA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Adora POS, the fast-casual point-of-sale platform built specifically for pizza chains, today announced the release of OLO v3, a significant advancement in online ordering designed to improve marketing precision, customer engagement, and digital revenue performance.

    Built around the realities of high-volume pizza operations, OLO v3 strengthens both the operator control layer and the customer ordering experience, transforming online ordering from a transactional tool into a performance-driven revenue channel.

    Precision Marketing with Geographic Control

    OLO v3 introduces advanced regional marketing controls that allow operators to define custom geographic zones and deploy targeted promotions with surgical accuracy.

    Brands can now launch zone-specific offers, schedule promotions by day and hour, configure desktop and mobile creatives independently, and control banner rotation timing, all within a centralized interface.

    The result: localized campaigns that drive incremental revenue without diluting brand-wide strategy.

    Loyalty Embedded Directly Into Checkout

    OLO v3 fully integrates loyalty redemption into the checkout flow. Customers can toggle between paying with dollars or redeeming with points, view eligible reward items in real time, and see point earnings clearly at order confirmation.

    This frictionless integration is designed to increase redemption participation, strengthen visit frequency, and reinforce customer lifetime value.

    Streamlined Reordering & Account Experience

    The updated digital experience includes saved payment methods, fully customized favorites, a recently ordered tab, preferred store auto-redirect, and a real-time order tracker synchronized directly with the POS.

    These enhancements reduce abandoned carts, accelerate reorders, and minimize operational friction during peak service windows.

    Smarter Deal Configuration & Visual Merchandising

    OLO v3 enhances promotional presentation with upgraded coupon builder logic, improved mix-and-match clarity, visual progress tracking for multi-item deals, and expanded image management, including device-specific banner uploads and scalable menu item graphics.

    Operators gain stronger control over discounting logic while customers benefit from clearer deal visibility and a more intuitive ordering flow.

    Centralized Online Ordering Governance

    At the operational level, OLO v3 consolidates previously distributed online ordering settings into a unified control center. Corporate and store-level permissions are clearly separated, reducing configuration errors and enabling faster brand-wide updates across multi-unit organizations.

    A Performance-Driven Upgrade

    OLO v3 was built with measurable outcomes in mind:
    Increased average ticket size
    Improved loyalty engagement
    Reduced abandoned carts
    Stronger localized marketing execution
    A modern, app-like ordering experience

    “OLO v3 represents a meaningful evolution in digital ordering,” said Kevin Wendland, President of Adora POS. “We focused on giving operators precision control while delivering a smoother, faster experience for customers. The goal is simple: better performance.”

    About Adora POS
    Adora POS is a cloud-based, pizza-native point-of-sale platform purpose-built for pizzerias and multi-unit pizza brands. From order entry and online ordering to delivery dispatch, loyalty, and reporting, Adora provides specialized tools designed to help pizza operators run faster, smarter, and more profitably.

Through powerful storytelling, immersive visuals, and testimonials from students and community members, guests will witness firsthand how service multiplies impact, much like a river that flows not for itself but for all life it sustains.

    “Water impacts everything. It is our most basic need and our most critical resource. It is the foundation of every community and necessary for public health and economic growth. This means that we must protect water wherever it is under threat and prepare the next generation of leaders who will ensure that there is water for all, forever,” said Danny Rodríguez, CEO and Co Founder of BLUE Missions.

    Every dollar raised goes toward sustaining BLUE’s programming both internationally in the Dominican Republic and domestically in the United States, ensuring the organization can continue delivering clean water, sanitation, and sustainability education where it is needed most.

  • Norck Accelerates Innovation with On-Demand Sheet Metal Manufacturing

    Combining engineering expertise, advanced sheet metal processing, and on-demand manufacturing to accelerate product development for global innovators.

    By integrating design expertise directly into the production process, Norck enables companies to move from prototype to full-scale production faster and with greater confidence.”
    — Mucahit Basaran, CEO

    IRVINE,CALIFORNIA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In today’s hyper-competitive global manufacturing landscape, the pressure to deliver high-performance products with shorter development cycles has never been greater. For industries ranging from robotics to aerospace, the challenge lies in bridging the complex gap between a digital design and a physical, high-precision part.

    Norck, a leading global manufacturing partner specializing in Precision CNC machining, 3d printing services, and Sheet metal manufacturing, today announced a strategic expansion of its engineering-led production capabilities across its key hubs in North America and Europe. While Norck continues to provide world-class Injection molding and additive solutions, the company is placing a renewed focus on On demand sheet metal fabrication as a cornerstone of modern industrial agility for clients in the US and EU markets.

    Bridging Design and Reality through Engineering

    The core of Norck’s value proposition is its ability to simplify the entire manufacturing journey. Many companies struggle with the transition from CAD models to finished custom metal parts, often facing unexpected delays due to manufacturability issues. Norck solves this by integrating deep engineering expertise directly into the production workflow.
    From the moment a customer looks to order custom metal parts, Norck’s engineering teams in Irvine and Mannheim perform a comprehensive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis. This collaborative approach ensures that custom components are optimized for material efficiency, structural integrity, and production speed. By identifying potential bottlenecks in the design phase, Norck helps customers reduce product development timelines by up to 35%, allowing them to outpace competitors and reach the market faster.

    Technical Excellence in Sheet Metal Processing

    Norck’s Sheet metal manufacturing capabilities go far beyond basic cutting and bending. The company utilizes a sophisticated ecosystem of Sheet metal processing technologies designed to handle complex geometries and tight tolerances.
    High-Precision Fiber Laser Cutting: Utilizing state-of-the-art fiber laser technology, Norck achieves extreme accuracy in profile cutting for custom metal parts manufacturing. This ensures clean edges, minimal kerf, and negligible heat-affected zones, which is critical for maintaining the material properties of high-strength alloys.

    Complex CNC Folding and multi-axis Bending: With high-tonnage multi-axis CNC press brakes, Norck handles intricate forming operations with micron-level repeatability. This allows for the creation of complex structural brackets and enclosures that require perfect alignment across multiple bends.
    Advanced Punching and Stamping: For high-volume custom metal parts, Norck employs automated punching systems that can execute complex hole patterns, louvers, and embossments with high speed and consistency.
    Integrated Joining and Finishing: The process concludes with specialized assembly services, including robotic TIG/MIG welding, spot welding, and precision hardware insertion (PEM nuts/studs), followed by industrial powder coating or anodizing.
    These technical capabilities, combined with Precision CNC machining for secondary operations, allow Norck to produce custom machined parts and sheet metal assemblies that meet the most rigorous industrial standards.

    A Word from Leadership

    “At Norck, we don’t just view ourselves as a vendor; we are a strategic engineering partner,” said Mucahit Basaran, CEO of Norck. “We recognized that the market was underserved in terms of high-complexity, engineering-backed On demand sheet metal fabrication. By integrating our 3d printing services for rapid prototyping with our heavy-duty Sheet metal manufacturing lines in both California and Germany, we provide a seamless path from a napkin sketch to a mass-produced industrial component. Our mission is to eliminate the friction in manufacturing, allowing our clients to focus entirely on innovation.”

    Quantifiable Impact: Quality and Consistency

    In manufacturing, quality is measured by reliability and repeatability. Norck’s engineering-first philosophy has led to measurable performance gains for its global client base. By utilizing advanced simulation tools and automated quality control during custom metal parts manufacturing, Norck has achieved:
    40% Improvement in Production Consistency: Ensuring that the 1,000th part is identical to the first through rigorous process control.
    30% Reduction in Defect Rates: Early-stage DFM analysis catches geometric errors and material stress points before the first piece of metal is ever cut.
    These metrics are particularly vital for sectors such as medical devices and automation, where a single millimeter of deviation can lead to system failure.

    Proven Results from Industry Leaders

    Norck’s engineering-driven manufacturing approach has already helped leading companies transform complex designs into reliable production-ready components. For example, Kalwall Corporation, a pioneer in advanced architectural daylighting systems, partnered with Norck to overcome complex manufacturing challenges and optimize the production of precision components.

  • Phoenix Security Launches AI-Powered Remediation Engine Surgical Container to Code Fixes Without Deploying software

    Actionable ASM and ASPM platform delivers AI container vulnerability remediation with 91% reduction of false positives

    Engineers don’t have time to look at 300 vulnerabilities. They have time to look at one remedy. The era of the security team pushing vulnerability is over. Phoenix Security gives you this power”
    — Francesco Cipollone CEO & Co-Founder Phoenix Security

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Actionable ASM and ASPM platform delivers agentless container vulnerability remediation in line with CTEM principle, correlating base image lineage to build files — reducing SCA container noise by up to 91% and resolving critical findings with one click

    Phoenix Security, the Actionable Attack Surface Management (ASM) platform following CTEM methodologies, today announced the general availability of its AI-powered Remediation Engine — a purpose-built capability that takes vulnerability management from alert reporting to agentic fix delivery. The release closes the loop on the full code-to-cloud security lifecycle: identifying what is reachable, correlating container findings to their source build files, and generating surgical remediation paths that engineers and AI agents can act on immediately — without requiring any container-side agent deployment.

    The Remediation Engine addresses one of the hardest unsolved problems in vulnerability management: knowing not just what is vulnerable, but exactly what to fix, in which file, by which team — without drowning engineers in noise or burning tokens on context-blind LLM calls.

    Proven Outcomes Across Production Environments
    98% container vulnerability reduction -ClearBank
    96–99% critical reduction – ClearBank
    94% container vulnerability reduction – Bazaarvoice
    78% container vulnerability reduction – AD-Tech client
    91% total noise reduction

    From Alert Overload to a Single Actionable Remedy
    Security teams and engineers operate in environments where scanners surface hundreds of container vulnerabilities per application — many flagged as critical, most irrelevant to what is actually running. The standard response is to hand that list to an AI agent and hope for the best. The result: wrong library versions upgraded, non-running containers patched, build pipelines broken, and security budgets consumed by LLM token costs with no reduction in real exposure.
    Phoenix Security’s Remediation Engine changes the calculus. Before a single fix is proposed, the platform traces each vulnerability through a full lineage graph: from the running container, back through the registry image, to the base image or build file where the issue originates. Only then does the platform generate a remedy — the minimum version increment that closes the most findings, mapped to the correct file, owned by the correct team.

    Agentless Container Remediation: No Deployment Tax
    Deploying security agents inside containers creates real operational friction — increased image size, modified runtime behavior, pipeline complexity, and compliance review overhead. Phoenix Security eliminates that entirely.
    The Remediation Engine performs full container-to-build-file correlation without touching the running environment. It:
    Maps each container image to its base image and originating build file (Dockerfile or build manifest)
    Identifies whether the vulnerability lives in the base image layer or in application-layer dependencies within the container
    Determines whether the container is active and externally reachable before assigning remediation priority
    Proposes fixes at the correct layer — base image upgrade, build file patch, or SCA library update — with breaking-change analysis included
    Teams receive a single, ranked list of remedies. Not a vulnerability list. Not a scanner export. A fixed path.

    AI Fix: Precision Remediation for Code and Container
    Phoenix Security’s agentic Remediator takes that remedy list and delivers executable fixes — directly to GitHub or the team’s ticketing workflow. One click opens a pull request with the precise version increment, change rationale, and impact scope. No broad context windows. No speculative upgrades. No token waste.

    The agent chain operates in three stages:
    Researcher — maps vulnerabilities to threat actors, active exploit campaigns, MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and exploit typologies, enabling shift-left prioritization grounded in real threat intelligence
    Analyzer — performs code-to-cloud reachability analysis, correlates container lineage, and scores each vulnerability against the 4D risk formula (exploitability + business criticality + deployment context + reachability)
    Remediator — generates the minimum-viable fix, validates against breaking changes, and delivers a GitHub PR or Jira ticket with full traceability
    Humans stay in control throughout. Engineers review, approve, and merge. Every fix is traceable to the source finding. AI accelerates the path — it does not replace the decision.

    Threat Intelligence Already in Production: The Researcher Agent
    Customers across fintech, retail, and ad-tech are already using Phoenix’s Researcher agent to map their vulnerability backlog to active threat campaigns. Where traditional ASPM platforms surface a CVE score, Phoenix surfaces the attack chain — which threat actor groups are exploiting this library, which attack typology applies, and which findings in the backlog represent active exposure rather than theoretical risk.
    This intelligence feeds directly into the Remediation Engine. Findings tied to active exploit campaigns are prioritized higher. Remediations are batched to close the highest-impact exposure chains first — not just the highest CVSS score.

    Executive Perspective
    “Engineers don’t have time to look at 300 vulnerabilities. They have time to look at one remedy. Phoenix gives them exactly that—the single fix that closes the most risk, at the right layer, in the right file, for the right team. We built the Researcher to map the threat. We built the Analyzer to find the reachable risk. And we built the Remediator to close it—surgically, without destroying your pipeline or your budget.”
    — Francesco Cipollone, CEO & Co-Founder, Phoenix Security

    Customer Results: Reduction at Scale
    ClearBank — Fintech
    98% reduction in container vulnerabilities; critical findings reduced to single digits
    96–99% reduction in critical-severity container exposure
    Millions saved in remediation costs; 4 hours per week reclaimed per engineer
    “Phoenix helped us move from noise to precision. We now focus on what truly matters — and fix faster than ever before.”
    — Neil Reed, Principal AppSec Engineer, ClearBank
    Bazaarvoice — Retail Commerce
    94% reduction in container vulnerabilities; one team reached zero criticals within one month
    40% reduction in high-risk findings within two weeks of deployment
    “We didn’t just improve visibility — we eliminated criticals. Phoenix made that operationally possible in days, not months.”
    — Nate Sanders, Senior Manager, Security Engineering & Operations, Bazaarvoice
    Ad-Tech client
    78% reduction in active container vulnerabilities
    82.4% reduction in SCA-to-container noise
    “Phoenix gave us the missing bridge between code and cloud. The visibility is deep, the actions are clear — and the results speak for themselves.”

    Availability
    The Phoenix Security Remediation Engine is available now to all Phoenix Security customers. One-click GitHub PR generation, Jira integration, and Remediation Campaign workflows are included at no additional tier. Existing customers can access the Remedies view directly within the Phoenix platform dashboard.
    Organizations evaluating ASPM, CTEM, or vulnerability remediation consolidation can request a live demonstration at phoenix.security/demo.

    About Phoenix Security
    Phoenix Security is the Actionable ASPM platform that correlates vulnerabilities from code to cloud and delivers prioritized, team-attributed remediation — not reports. Its 4D risk formula combines exploitability, business criticality, deployment context, and reachability to surface findings that represent real risk, not theoretical exposure. The platform’s AI agent chain — Researcher, Analyzer, Remediator — maps threat actor methodologies, traces container lineage to build files, and delivers pull-request-ready fixes without deploying agents inside running containers. Customers, including ClearBank, Bazaarvoice, and clients across ad-tech and retail, have used Phoenix to reduce container vulnerability exposure by up to 98%, save millions in engineering time, and scale their security programs without scaling headcount.
