Yoshikazu Ono (Japanese: 小野 禎一, Hepburn: Ono Yoshikazu) is a Japanese chef who works at Sukiyabashi Jiro under his father, Jiro Ono. He was featured in the 2011 film Jiro Dreams of Sushi. He has a younger brother, Takashi, who owns a second establishment in Roppongi Hills.[1]
Personal life
Yoshikazu is fond of cars, having mentioned his dream of being a Formula 1 driver as a youth. He drives an Audi RS6 Avant.[2]
In 2011, Yoshikazu said that women could not be sushi chefs. He claimed that "the reason is because women menstruate. To be a professional means to have a steady taste in your food, but because of the menstrual cycle, women have an imbalance in their taste, and that’s why women can’t be sushi chefs."[3]
