Koshitsu Dining Kakehashi Higashi Bypass Main store

The vision of his father standing in the kitchen inspired him to be chef.

Chef Imura was born on January 10th, 1982 in Kumamoto Prefecture. He grew up watching his father cook at the ryokan (Japanese style inn) that was also his childhood home. That scene which he observed from early on became like a guidebook for his own journey to becoming a chef. He started training to make his interest in cooking a professional reality. He began his career working at a traditional Japanese restaurant in the city, and then moved on to a ryokan in Aso. To further devote himself to training, he worked at another ryokan in Kyoto. In 2014, he returned to his hometown of Kumamoto and opened Koshitsu Dining Kakehashi Higashi Bypass Honten, where he acts as chef-owner.
