But this busboy-become-chef hasn’t forgotten his roots. His skills are something he constantly strives to hone. Although Kim took over the eatery from culinary legend Murakami Todashi less than a year ago, he kept the same menu that won Ari-Ya the limelight. “He’s a master chef who I respect. I respect his recipes, his presentation and his quality,” says Kim. Premium-grade ingredients—from the yellowtail and eel to the miso and seaweed—have kept regulars coming back to this casual eatery for years.
