Meet Yama Sun

Yama-San

Yasuto Oyamada, better-known today as Yama-san, was born in the southern Japanese province of Kagoshima and grew up in the mountains with the traditional local seasonal produce: fish, shellfish and other seafood, and fruit. His mother kept a meticulously-groomed, traditional Japanese garden which included persimmons, plums and unshiu citrus. Every year they would pick the fruit, set aside about 10 of each for themselves, and send the rest to their family and friends – always sharing. Their friends would send back some of their own local produce, and so the boy learned about the variety of foods Japan has to offer.

Professional Background

Yama-san became a student of cooking in early childhood, learning from the grownups around him. When he moved to Tokyo, he had the opportunity to peek into kitchens and start learning the secrets of the trade. After specializing in the field in Tokyo, at the age of 21 he relocated to New York, where he worked in a number of large restaurants and expanded his knowledge of Japanese cooking and ingredients.

 

As one of the most highly-appreciated Sushi Masters in the world, Yama-san has worked at the celebrated sushi restaurant in New York City, Morimoto, and has provided culinary consultancy services to restaurants in London and St. Petersburg.

With the launch of TYO, Yama-san went to Tokyo and returned with a specially-made set of knives, each one individually suited to meet his specific demands. He also prepares the variety of sauces and sides in the restaurant, including the pickled ginger and a special soy sauce.

 

Yama-san’s personal touch is felt in every dish on the restaurant’s menu, and all you have to do is taste and enjoy.
