Description
Roy Yamaguchi (Royʻs Restaurant, 30+ locations worldwide at peak) was the HRC chef who took Hawaiian fusion global. Japanese-born, classically French-trained, Yamaguchi created a Euro-Asian-Hawaiian style: misoyaki butterfish (black cod in miso glaze — adapted from Nobuʻs miso cod but anchored in Hawaiian fish culture), blackened ʻahi with a soy-mustard-butter sauce, and hibachi salmon. His contribution was accessibility — he made HRC food available to mainstream diners through a restaurant empire.
