About
Shogunai was founded on the strength and stability of a shogun warrior mixed with Shoganai Japanese for “the attitude of we cannot do anything else” because this is as good as it gets baby! Why mess with perfection? :)

He lived in Japan for almost 5 years where he promoted and DJed in some of the largest clubs in the country. He knows what it takes to cater to a variety of nationalities through giving people what they want. Matt is a people person to say the least, he has a story for every occasion!
He has been lucky enough to experience such countries as Sri Lanka, Australia, China, Malaysia, Korea, Spain, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Germany, and that is just to name a few.
“I have always had a passion for cooking & eating, and through my travels I have picked up many secrets that I would love to share with the masses”.
Matt has lived on the Island for almost two years and would like nothing better than to serve the Island of Oahu and support local suppliers and businesses. “I feel this island has welcomed me with open arms and would love to give as much aloha back that is in my power”.
