Chef Hiroyuki Terada

Formerly owning and operating NoVe Kitchen and Bar in Miami, Florida (now permanently closed), Chef Hiroyuki Terada, or simply Chef Hiro, has garnered a huge social fanbase with over 1.8 million YouTube subscribers featuring his exceptional cooking and sushi crafting talents. As a Master Sushi Chef, Chef Hiro broke the Guinness World record of most sliced carrots blindfolded in 30 seconds and developed his YouTube channel "Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef" into a large platform showcasing his abilities with a knife, with several of his videos exceeding 10 million views and one even reaching up to 23 million views.

Chef Hiro began studying the art of sushi at age 10 from his father. At RKC Culinary School in Kochi, Japan, Chef Hiro became known for his speed with the knife and attention to detail between the years of 1987 and 1989, after which, he began perfecting his culinary skills under Master Chef Kondo, a master of Kansai style cooking, at Yuzuan restaurant in Kochi, Japan until 1992. With strong determination, Chef Hiro eventually rose up to become a Master Sushi Chef after becoming a head sushi chef.

His love for Riviera Seafood Club and the Ito family began at the start of the COVID 19 pandemic, where it became increasingly difficult to acquire fresh, high quality seafood. The Ito family impressed Chef Hiro with their high quality bluefin tuna, fresh uni, exceptionally marbled A5 Japanese wagyu and more creating a long lasting partnership between the two.
