Teppanyaki 58 Delights: The Art of Teppanyaki by Chef Motoyoshi at MGM COTAI

Step into Grill 58, where the timeless art of Japanese teppanyaki is elevated under the masterful direction of Chef Motoyoshi Hamaie. With over 30 years of experience spanning French and Japanese culinary traditions, Chef Motoyoshi harmonizes Japanese teppanyaki with French techniques.

Inspired by the philosophy of “Seishin Seii” (sincerity and wholehearted dedication), every dish he creates is a heartfelt gift to his guests, a reflection of his unwavering commitment to excellence.

Chef Motoyoshi’s career began in French cuisine, where he honed his craft for 15 years before transitioning to teppanyaki, dedicating another 15 years to mastering its intricacies.

His signature approach is exemplified in dishes like Kagoshima A5 tenderloin, teppan-seared foie gras, and seasonal seafood—each showcasing his meticulous attention to detail, respect for ingredients, and ability to blend flavors seamlessly.

He sources the freshest produce daily, tailoring preparations to highlight the seasonal best.

Every bite embodies the spirit of Japanese culinary craftsmanship.

More than just a chef, Chef Motoyoshi is a storyteller, transforming the teppanyaki counter into a stage. Guests are treated to a multi-sensory “sekizen” (cooking in front of the guest) service, where the sizzle of the grill, the aroma of premium ingredients, and his engaging hospitality come together to create a dining experience like no other.
