Takashi Miyazaki moved to Ireland in 2008. In 2015, he opened Cork’s first Japanese takeaway - Miyazaki, and he followed that up in early 2018 with the first Japanese fine dining restaurant in Cork, Ichigo Ichie.

His flagship bricks and mortar restaurant on Evergreen street has remained a constant go-to for people looking for a little bit more from a takeaway and his second restaurant on Sheares Street earned him a Michelin star.

We talk about his time in Hiroshima, getting to Ireland and settling in Cork and much more.

I hope you enjoy :-)
