Ryuichi Yoshii is a second-generation Japanese Sushi Master, with his work in that area considered the benchmark in Australia. Born in Nagasaki, a suburban town near Fukuoka in the south of Japan, Yoshii learned the art of Japanese cuisine from his Sushi Chef father at a young age.
The mix of exotic cultures and diversity of food in Nagasaki inspired his open-minded, experimental approach to cooking. Yoshii is well known for his amazing knife skills together with his clever and thoughtful combinations of unexpected ingredients.
