Home > Hiroyuki Sakai


Sakai Hiroyuki (坂井 宏行) was born in Kagoshima Prefecture in 1942. Sakai is most famous for being the second, and last, Iron Chef French on the Japanese television show Iron Chef, first appearing at the beginning of 1994 (after Yutake Ishinabe retired) and continued his appearance in shows over nine seasons.

Sakai Hiroyuki is famous for being a womanizer; his smooth personality and friendly attitude certainly help in this regard. His television trademark is a red French chef's costume; he rises into Kitchen Stadium holding a pear in his hand.

He cooks at his French restaurant La Rochelle in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, which offers a great view of Tokyo from its 32nd floor location. The restaurant's name is from a city in France where Sakai spent some time (as revealed in the France Showdown special).

He is often called the " Delacroix of French cuisine" because of the beautiful way in which his dishes are presented. Sakai is a member of the Club des Trente , an organization of French chefs in Japan.
