Andrew Kojima

Koj learned to cook Japanese food from a young age. After impressing MasterChef judges such as Michel Roux Jr, he has become an expert in teaching Japanese cuisine, combining technical ability with passion, enthusiasm and fascinating knowledge. His restaurant was reviewed by national restaurant critics, won awards such as Best Newcomer and Best Restaurant and was one of only two Japanese restaurants outside London in the Michelin Guide. “Koj’s food reflects his heritage and an understanding of what brings joy to the palate” - Michel Roux Jr, Chef Patron, Le Gavroche
