    Portrait of Yoshikazu Ono

    i. Biography

    Yoshikazu Ono is the elder son of Jiro Ono and a sushi chef associated with Sukiyabashi Jiro in Ginza, Tokyo, where he has worked beside his father for decades. Sources indicate that after Jiro Ono stepped back from day-to-day management in 2023 because of health concerns, Yoshikazu took over the restaurant’s daily operations and is described as the head chef there. A separate official restaurant page for Tenjimbashi Aoki was found, but no credible source in the gathered material directly connects Yoshikazu Ono to that location.
