Chef Taku

The creator of the popular Youtube channel "Outdoor Chef Life," Chef Taku combined his passion for cooking and the outdoors to become of the more prominent Chefs in the world. At a young age, in his home country of Japan, his father would take him out off the coast to fish for large mouth bass. It was not until after they moved to the Bay area in California and when Taku was studying at SFSU and working as a sushi chef when he discovered his love for foraging. It began inland where he would search out plants in his local area, eventually leading to Chef Taku searching for an endless variety of local seafood near the coast. As a sushi chef, seafood doesn't get fresher than harvesting your own.

Chef Taku began his youtube channel in May of 2018 showcasing his love for both culinary delights and the outdoor life. While most of the content takes place in the Northern California Bay Area, "Outdoor Chef Life" is looking to expand to feature the outdoor life and local foods from different parts of the world.

In March of 2020, Chef Taku, impressed with Riviera Seafood Club's quality, teamed up with Riviera on Outdoor Chef Life to showcase Riviera's Bluefin Chu-Toro Tuna. At the time, Riviera only shipped to California, Nevada and Arizona, but have since expanded shipping to the rest of the United States.
