Chef Hassan

Joined Hocho’s team on March 2024.

From a young age, our talented chef, was drawn to cooking, not just for the flavors, but for the art behind each dish. He admired Japanese cuisine for its simplicity, its technique, and its quiet elegance. Over the years, he studied the traditional ways: how to hold a hocho, means a knife, how to slice meat with care, how to prepare rice like it’s a ceremony.

Our Goals and Commitment

  • Train and mentor Saudi chefs in Japanese culinary traditions.
  • Celebrate cultural fusion through food at events like the Saudi Feast.
  • Expand internationally while keeping Saudi leadership at the forefront.
  • Aim for a Michelin Star, representing not just culinary excellence, but a new Saudi era in fine dining.

Hocho is a knife.
Our team holds it with pride.
And every dish he creates is a cut through boundaries —
where Japan and Saudi meet, beautifully and boldly.
