A lot has been spoken about how industries have been experiencing massive growth and success, thriving on the relentless drive and passion of the astute minds, professionals, and entrepreneurs that bring growth to the industry. But, is it so easy, and can every brand and business go ahead in paving their own path to success? Well, Aimi Shibuya, an ace Japanese woman entrepreneur and owner of TakaHisa, a newly opened Japanese restaurant in Dubai, says that when individuals, no matter at what stage they are in life, work with persistence and passion, everything becomes attainable in any industry.

What is TakaHisa all about? Well, it is a Japanese Omakase restaurant located at Caesars Palace in Dubai, offering a culinary experience to remember. The restaurant is built with the ideas and visions of two executive chefs, two sous-chefs, general managers, managers and sommeliers, all of whom are Japanese offering authentic Japanese service.

TakaHisa is formed by the names of its two master chefs, named Takashi Namekata (Sushi Master Chef) and Hisao Ueda (Wagyu Master Chef). The restaurant offers a special à la carte request, which is required in advance. Their sous-chef is also a former chef of Ukaitei, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Japan. Their bartender, who won second place in the world championships and is the Japanese champion for the fourth consecutive year, will join TakaHisa in March this year. They have three great sommeliers in the restaurant who can help people match the right beverage with their food.

Its Japanese executive chefs and general managers have lived in Dubai for over ten years and know how to maximize the most out of the ingredients available in Dubai.

Aimi Shibuya, who owns the restaurant, has taken a step further in the entrepreneurial world with the restaurant, which has become a success in a short span, being visited by several celebrities and famous personalities. Aimi Shibuya is a perfect example of beauty with brains, running her other business ventures worldwide, including a medical beauty salon that brings Japanese beauty treatments to Singapore. She is also an investor in many restaurant businesses.

TakaHisa offers the best wagyu beef and sushi in Dubai, where seafood comes from Toyosu Market. It has been truly offering extraordinary culinary experiences to people, and the team aims to continue doing so for the coming years. Do follow her on Instagram @helloshibuya_3.
