Just before he took over “Zen Japanese Restaurant”, Hideki contributed himself of opening of “A LURE” Contemporary style Restaurant in Burswood Hotel in Perth.
A day after his 41st birthday, 25th July 2008, Hideki took over “Zen Japanese Restaurant” in Subiaco to challenge and identify himself for his 23 years of career.
Dishes he creates with his experiences, knowledge, skills and inspiration, fascinate a lot of his customers and that makes “Zen” so busy every day.
Hideki's motto is to entertain every one of customers as the guests he invited to his own home. To remind that, he put a Family name plate (Hyosatsu) at the entrance of the restaurant. Zen is not his working place, but it's his home and you are his precious guest friends.
