About the Chef - Fumio Inaba

Chef Fumio Inaba was born, raised and educated in Osaka, Japan, where he learned to cook traditional Japanese cuisine at Terakawa Restaurant. He traveled to Puerto Rico and worked as chef at the Dorado Hyatt; from there joined the oldest Japanese restaurant on the East Coast, Miyako Restaurant in New York City, opened in 1910.

Chef Fumio and his young family first ventured out to the Big Island in 1996, where he held the restaurant Imari chef position for over three years, and became well-known for his creative, contemporary and traditional Japanese cuisine. Chef Fumio then entered into a partnership at an upscale, intimate 53-seat restaurant in Short Hills, New Jersey, specializing in Asian Fusion cuisine, and frequently dabbling in Kosher food preparation in this prestigious community.

Chef Fumio's love for the beauty and peace of Hawaii and the Big Island, coupled with cherished memories of old friends at the Hilton Waikoloa Village®, finally brought him back again to Restaurant Imari, where he is now preparing traditional Japanese favorites as well as "New Wave" Sushi. He takes great pride in his preparation, and the quality of his product is impeccable. Chef's first wish is to please his guests and hope for their quick return to Restaurant Imari.
