Chef Okajima’s attention was caught by the presence of a variety of scrumptious seafood present in the town where he grew up as a child. Later on, he decided to venture into the food industry and started working at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo by buying fish and seafood for a small-scale sushi shop in the city.
With his efforts, he became a full-fledged sushi chef and later on decided to put up his own sushi restaurant in the Philippines, naming it “Tsukiji”.
