Master sushi chef Katsuya Uechi was born on the Japanese island of Miyako, and while you might not have heard of him, or the place he comes from, you are likely to have eaten some of the food he had a hand in influencing.
In the world of modern sushi, this man is one of the most significant chefs to have shaped the dish as we know it, and he has now launched a restaurant in Dubai.
Dubai has a plethora of Japanese restaurants, just as LA did before he launched there in 1997. Yet Katsuya is confident he can stand out from the rest.
In a way, that encapsulates why Katsuya and his restaurant, in all aspects of his approach, worked so well in the US and resonate around the globe.
