BRYAN NAGAO
Over the last few years, Bryan Nagao has gained formidable reputation in the international food,
and beverage, community. He was once described by American media as "the most notable figures in
rendering modern Asian, East-meets-West cuisine in the Northern hemisphere". The creativity
permeating his cuisine stems from the diversity of his culinary background. Of Japanese ancestry
but Hawaiian upbringing, Bryan experienced and felt the effect of Hawaii's unique blend of
Japanese and American cultures, inspiring him to merge the flavors of many countries and thus
nurturing the bases of the Bryan Nagao style that we know today: culinary artistry meets boundless creativity.
