Business Owner

Born and raised in the Hokkaido prefecture, owner Keisuke Kobayashi came to Seattle in 2006 as a student. His heart led him back to his hometown of Sapporo with a dream to one day return to the Emerald City and bring back valuable tenets of Japanese culture. While back home, Keisuke learned his most valuable lesson through food service: prepare with your heart. Serve with your soul. 5 years and many accolades later, Yoroshiku would evolve. An expansion of space saw the restaurant double in size and refocus to a traditional and modern izakaya style. With it, Keisuke and company hopes to break the dated notion of Japanese cuisine; it's more than sushi and teriyaki. Yoroshiku prepares from the heart, and serves from the soul.
