HATOYAMA

Taking the philosophy “Love.Fresh” as its guiding principle, Hatoyama pursues two core values: “Love” – a deep love for the art of cuisine and the Japanese spirit, and “Fresh” – an absolute commitment to the quality of premium ingredients. This is reflected in the fact that all seafood at Hatoyama is transported by air from Japan to Vietnam within 24 hours. Guaranteeing Hatoyama’s stature and Japanese spirit is Culinary Culture Ambassador Tomisawa Hirokazu. He accompanies the brand as an advisor, directly guiding and inspiring its authentic Japanese menus. In addition, under the leadership of Executive Chef Kyo Nguyen – who once served former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama – Hatoyama always maintains the standard and refined spirit characteristic of Japanese cuisine. Alongside him is Chef Fuku Nguyen, Kaiseki Chef – the ninth person in the world to be awarded the Taste of Japan gold badge by the Japanese Government. Chef Fuku possesses relentless creative thinking in transforming high-quality ingredients into emotionally rich culinary experiences. It is this combination of experience, passion, and perfectionism that has helped Hatoyama shape its own style – both authentically Japanese and close to the palates of Vietnamese diners.
