His love of fishing when he was in university led him down the path to becoming a chef
Yoshihiro Kanno was born in Miyagi prefecture in 1975. He often went fishing with friends when he was a university student.

This experience made Yoshihiro think, "I want to get even better at cooking," and thus entered the Miyagi school of cooking and confectionery.
