Thank you to The Irish Times for telling the story of Yamamori! The Ryan family sat down to discuss the origins of Yamamori in Dublin, the growth over time, and what it’s like running a family business.
“‘Yamamori was where all the actors, artists, musicians came. I think they were attracted to it because it was different, and I gave everyone a chance there. I didn’t know what I was doing, but somehow got there [said Derek Ryan].’
Right from the beginning, Yamamori was a family affair. ‘My first memory of Yamamori was the day that my dad got the keys, I was around six years old,’ says Graham Ryan, Derek’s youngest child and current general manager of Yamamori…
Graham’s sister Julie also watched the business grow from the early days, and picked up her work ethic from watching her Dad in action. ‘Like Graham I was involved from a young age,’ she says.”
