2023 Presentation by Mr. Takuta Hikita

Come join us at the upcoming presentation by Mr. Takuta Hikita. 

Mr. 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 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.
