Sushi Chef Yosuke Imada

Work ZoneYosuke Imada is among Japan’s most renowned sushi chefs. Mr. Imada, 68, heads Kyubey, a family-run sushi restaurant in Ginza, Tokyo, with branches in Osaka and four major hotels.  Mr. Imada explains what makes a good sushi chef:

Skill and experience are important but ultimately, your spirit is the most important ingredient.”
