This story originally appeared in URBANIA, an online magazine based in Quebec focused on pop culture and society.
Best known as the founder of Marusan inside Time Out Market Montréal and co-founder of Fleurs & Cadeaux, Hideyuki Imaizumi (aka DJ HIDI) is just as at home behind the decks as he is behind a kitchen counter. His world blends savoury ramen, warm lighting, and vinyl grooves, pulling influence from both Tokyo street corners and Montreal’s late-night heartbeat.
A disciple of the ikigai philosophy—living with passion and purpose—HIDI’s life is a steady rhythm of food, music, and design. His sets move from electronic to organic, like his menus, always shaped by intuition and emotion. One night he’s serving silky onsen eggs, the next he’s spinning Theo Parrish tracks in a Plateau loft.
