His dream to become a chef came true. Now he makes passionate Italian cuisine in a brand new style
He was born in 1979 in Okayama prefecture. He often went out to eat with his parents as a child, and soon he secretly longed to become a chef in the future. That dream come true, when after graduating from the Hattori School of Nutrition at the age of 18, he honed his cooking skills in Tokyo at Italian restaurants and French restaurants in hotels. After that he encountered "Canoviano", and Chef Uetake at our main store in Daikanyama took him under his wing. Still greatly influenced by Chef Uetake, our chef makes every effort to produce many dishes that show the true worth of Italian cooking.
