Tributes have been pouring in for well-known Irish restaurateur, Derek Ryan, who founded the Yamamori chain in Dublin.
Before opening the first Japanese restaurant in city centre in the 1990s, Mr Ryan was a carpenter and ran a waste company.
The first restaurant was opened on South George’s Street and after a few years, the business began booming and two further Yamamori restaurants popped up on Ormond Quay and in a second premises on George’s Street.
