Meet The Team
Takashi Harada
`Ulu Ocean Grill + Sushi Lounge Chef De CuisineTakashi Harada was born in Vancouver, but his passion for cooking has taken him around the world with Four Seasons from Canada to Japan, Lanai and Hualalai. His expertise as a chef to develop innovative menus has brought many guests back for more of his delicious cuisine.
“The diversity of the ingredients here in Hawaii is incredibly inspiring. From the acidity and sweetness of liliko`i (passion fruit) to the texture of our Hualalai Shrimp, I love experimenting with new flavours. My love language is cooking for others and `Ulu gives me the creative opportunity to do so through a wide variety of cultural cuisines.”
