SAVOR JAPAN -Japanese Restaurant Guide-

An acquaintance led him to restaurant business, and his interest in becoming a chef gradually increased.

He was born in 1970, in Osaka prefecture. At the age of 16, he started working at a charcoal grill steak restaurant, thanks to an acquaintance's reference. 3 years later, as recommended by his superior, he changed his workplace to a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka prefectute, where he urged to master the authentic taste of western dishes. To accumulate further experiences, he moved to Hotel Granvia Osaka, as the chef at his first restaurant motivated him up. Although he found it not just fun but hard at some points to serve the guests, he worked there for 21 years. The reason why he joined the current restaurant as a chef is that he sympathized with the idea of appealing Miyazaki beef to everywhere in Osaka.
