The Rocks Teppanyaki Head Teppanyaki Chef Yumi Maeyama From Sapporo in Hokkaido, Japan Qualified Japanese teppanyaki chef

Yumi Maeyama is the only female teppanyaki head chef in Australia. Yumi received her chef's licence in her home country of Japan and then further trained as a teppanyaki chef in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Yumi has used her extensive skills to create a broad selection of teppanyaki dishes and accompaniments for you to choose from to enjoy an authentic teppanyaki experience.

Traditional teppanyaki cooking was developed in the port town of Kobe in Japan; customers would select whatever fresh ingredients were available that day and a chef would cook these ingredients on a small grill in plain view of the customer.

Teppanyaki has now developed into a highly refined and beautiful form of expression, characterised by an intricate combination of presentation and knife skills.

At The Rocks Teppanyaki, Yumi and her team of skilled teppanyaki chefs will guide you through the choices to make sure you pick the best combination to suit your appetite. Whether your preference is for Rock lobster, wagyu beef or king prawns you won’t be disappointed.
