OUR STORY
BEYOND BOUNDARIES OF TASTE
Chef Dean's culinary journey began in his teenage years in Hong Kong, where he underwent traditional Japanese training, mastering the art of sushi rice over two years. Recognized for serving exceptional sushi, he believes in elevating simple ingredients to create extraordinary flavors.
Further honing his skills in Japan, he expanded his expertise to include ramen and yakitori. Upon returning to Calgary, he founded Maruju Sushi in 2004 and Umami Noodle Bar in 2015. Despite a setback from a car accident in 2022, Chef Dean's determination remained strong. After two years of recovery, with the support of loyal customers, friends, and family, we continue to share his culinary creations.
Thank you to all who have supported us along the way!
Chef Dean also had the opportunity to visit Kikuchi Kumamoto in Japan in 2018 to learn about Wagyu and the culinary techniques for cooking each part of the whole cow.
Linh, his wife, is a Sake sommelier adept at curating sake selections tailored to your event, enriching the dining experience. By carefully selecting Japanese beverages that harmonize with the flavors and textures of the dishes, she elevates both the culinary and libation aspects of your gathering.
