Started in 2005, by Chef MJ Scharaga, as Soyo Sushi, basically as a way to provide an outlet for his fanatical approach to sushi. The business always generated a buzz due to his nyotaimori sushi experiences, but was overlooked for his other culinary achievements. Chef Scharaga has truly embraced farm to fork and sustainable practices in his cuisine. As a chef, he's won several awards for his approach towards modernist cuisine. While he has always incorporated molecular gastronomy, to him its more important to focus on umami and flavor.
Today, when people truly want the food for their events to standout, Ryori Modern is the catering service to turn to. Our goal is nothing less than exceptional.

Some Chefs are lucky to have opportunity to build a solid foundation in the Culinary Arts. Some find their calling later in life, such is the story of Chef MJ Scharaga. While working in restaurants was ingrained at an early age when he bussed tables and washed dishes under the table, Chef Scharaga didn't truly realize his calling in life until as an adult he struggled in Corporate jobs. His appreciation for technique, skill and knowledge was unrivaled. He grew his arsenal of skillls over a period of time. He began formal training on sushi in Los Angeles in 2008. And today is known as of the true culinary sushi artists in America.
