Meet the oishee
private chefs.

Every oishee private chef grew up on the food they cook - dishes they learned in their own family kitchens in Japan, and now meal prep in kitchens across London.

Katsuhiro Y, Japanese private chef in London, in a kitchen

Katsuhiro Y

Kyushu · In London since 2020

I grew up in Kyushu, Japan, and started cooking from a young age, often preparing meals for my family. Since moving to London in 2020, I have enjoyed finding ways to recreate the flavours of my hometown using the Asian ingredients available here.

My hope is to share authentic Japanese regional home cooking - not overly adapted restaurant-style dishes, but the comforting, traditional flavours I grew up with.

I'd love to make your busy days a little easier with comforting, homemade Japanese food!
