ABOUT THE CHEFS
Vivian O'Phelan and her husband Michi Hirano have a remarkable journey filled with love, resilience, and success. They met while working in a Japanese restaurant, despite their families initially disapproving of their relationship due to their different cultural backgrounds. After a challenging start, they got married and built a life together.
​
Their journey took a dramatic turn when Michi survived a severe accident, which left him with life-threatening injuries. Despite the odds, Michi recovered with Vivian's unwavering support. Together, they navigated various career paths in the restaurant industry, eventually opening their own sushi restaurant, which they later closed to focus on family.
​
In 2018, Michi faced another health crisis but emerged victorious once again after a risky surgery. Determined to support their family without Michi returning to restaurant work, they ventured into online business using a global platform for marketing. Their catering and cooking classes gained international popularity, allowing them to reach a global audience and maintain a fulfilling career while sharing their passion for food and resilience with others.
​
Michi is renowned for his traditional sushi techniques and generosity in sharing his culinary expertise, while Vivian an Intercontinental chef excels in bringing people together through her creative and inclusive approach to cooking. Their success stems from their dedication to providing exceptional service, their passion for uniting people through food, and their perseverance in the face of adversity. Their story serves as an inspiration to others facing challenges, demonstrating that with love, positivity, and determination, anything is possible.
