Overview
Born in Fukushima, third-generation Sushi Chef Taiji Maruyama started his career in Tokyo at restaurants, including in Ginza 3* Michelin star restaurant, before moving on to work in NOBU, following his having spent time at acclaimed restaurants in Barcelona and Norway. From his career as a chef, he has learnt not just practical skills, but also about the utmost importance of the personal relationship and respect between a chef and his suppliers, with it being pivotal that they work together as a team to create the ‘omotenashi’ experience for guests at MARU. Named for Executive Chef Taiji Maruyama’s family name, MARU roughly translates to circle in Japanese, which succinctly describes the constantly evolving menus served by Chef Maruyama, which in themselves will represent MARU’s spirit and philosophy.
