Event Speaker:
Mr. Takuta Hikita is a former auctioneer of high-end fish at Tsukiji Market for over 10 years. Combined with a Marine Sciences degree, he became an expert in the luxury seafood market. When he first moved to Vancouver in 2018, he realized that he couldn’t find the types of fish that his family loved to eat in Japan. So, he decided to start his own company to share his passion for these Japanese fish and bring them into Vancouver market. He delivers the freshest seasonal ingredients from Japan (‘shun no sakana’) to restaurants and vendors across the city.
