Years of experience
Mitsuhisa Nishio, widely known as “El Ninja” or “Daddy Ninja” is a celebrated chef specializing in Asian-Latin fusion cuisine. Born in the Dominican Republic to Japanese parents, he masterfully blends the flavors of his dual heritage, creating unique dishes like sushi topped with sweet plantains.
His culinary journey began in New York, where he developed a menu for an Asian-Latin bar in 2003 and quickly gained recognition for his innovative approach. Over the years, he built a loyal following, earning fame for his signature creations and vibrant personality. His charisma helped him amass a significant social media presence, with millions of views and followers. Despite not attending culinary school, he has achieved remarkable success, catering for celebrities, selling out venues nationwide, and earning a reputation as “El Rey del Sushi Aplatanao.”
