Host Anne Lee heads over to Roy Yamaguchi’s flagship restaurant, Roy’s Hawaii Kai, and enjoys a delicious meal made by the renowned Chef Roy Yamaguchi himself. Then she indulges in a traditional Kaiseki meal at Nanzan Giro Giro with Owner of Wilson Home Care, Shelley Wilson. Chef Yoshi serves up a unique kaiseki meal. The dishes are artfully prepared, using seasonal ingredients. They may appear small, but the meal consists of six or nine courses. It is a true culinary experience.

Culinary pioneer and Roy's founder Roy Yamaguchi was born in Tokyo. It was while visiting his grandparents on Maui that he had his first taste of seafood bought fresh at seaside piers — fond memories that would shape his future career. At 19, he graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in New York as a master chef and moved to Los Angeles where he served as executive chef at La Serene. After gaining invaluable experience in LA, Roy decided it was time to head closer to his roots. He moved to Hawaii and opened the first Roy's in 1988 in Hawaii Kai, O’ahu. He has since opened 10 different restaurants across O’ahu, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island.

Roy Yamaguchi is regarded as an international culinary visionary and the creator of Hawaiian fusion cuisine. His numerous accolades include the prestigious James Beard Award. Roy has also hosted six seasons of the television show "Hawaii Cooks with Roy Yamaguchi," seen in more than 60 countries, and has published three cookbooks.
