Meet Taka Narui of Taka’s Japanese Catering in Culver City

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taka Narui.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Taka. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I was born and raised in Japan. When I was a kid I loved watching and helping my mom in the kitchen. She was a number 1 chef for my family. After I moved to LA in 1991, I started to work at famous fine restaurants such as Jiraffe in Santa Monica, L’Orangerie, Luques both in West Hollywood, Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills. In 2014, I decided to start a catering business to bring my style of food using Japanese and French techniques to a wider audience.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has not been a smooth road (still going on!)

Please tell us about Taka’s Japanese Catering.
I run a catering service. All the menu is the custom made, I make every single menu for my client’s needs. I specialize Not only Japanese food but also French-Californian fusion.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I would do the same way. Even though Sometimes I struggle, I in fact enjoy how I solve them!
