When he was in his early 20s, he stowed away on a ship going to London, where he was deported.

After World War II, he returned to Japan and opened a series of restaurants. In the mid-1950s, he served as the cook at the official residence of the Prime Minister of Japan. Shido was a pioneer of French cuisine in Japan, and is credited with creating fond de veau curry and soupe Paris soir, the former of which made him an overnight celebrity in Japan. He wrote books on Japanese and French cuisine, one of which influenced Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai. Sakai studied under Shido for three years.

Shizuko Kasagi (Japanese: 笠置 シヅ子, Hepburn: Kasagi Shizuko; August 25, 1914 – March 30, 1985) was a Japanese jazz singer and actress. At the peak of her fame in the immediate post-war era, she earned the nickname the "Queen of Boogie" (ブギの女王, Bugi no Joō). Kasagi frequently sang songs composed by Ryōichi Hattori, including 1947's "Tokyo Boogie-Woogie", which remains her best-known work. Yoshinori Gyobe, a professor at Nihon University, said that with Hattori's bright boogie rhythms and Kasagi's lively singing of melodies that did not exist in Japan, the duo changed the image of Japanese music.
