The owner and chef is Miyabi "Mike" Yamamoto, who has opened and sold restaurants in California and Maine and most recently Boston, where he had Miyabi 9 about five years. When one of his patrons moved to Des Moines, Yamamoto said the patron missed the Boston Japanese restaurant and enticed Yamamoto to consider opening a restaurant here.

My top spots to bring out of towners

When people come from out of town, I love to pick spots that really showcase Des Moines, and tell visitors we arent just some small town.
