LEARN ABOUT THE CHEF
Aloha Everyone!
I’m Chef Regi and I am the Corporate Chef at Aloha Shoyu. My mother has used Aloha Shoyu since I was a child and I always enjoyed watching her in the kitchen. She taught me cooking always brings you energy and makes your loved ones happy. I got my Culinary Arts degree from Kapiolani Community College in 2000. Since then, I have worked in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years in various restaurants and hotels such as the Aulani Disney Resort, learning how to cook and prepare different types of cuisine.
After moving to Las Vegas and working at Zippy’s new Vegas location last year, I began looking for an opportunity that allowed me to be home more. My wife suggested applying for Aloha Shoyu. I landed a position in Production. I was then offered the position of Corporate Chef for Aloha Shoyu which would allow my culinary skills to flourish within the company.
Aloha Shoyu products are so versatile, and my goal is to showcase how easy it is to create recipes. The possibilities are endless, from dressings to marinades and sauces. I look forward to future cooking demonstrations and recreating old recipes with a twist using a wide range of Aloha Shoyu’s products.
