From the chef
Born in a family running a sushi restaurant, he finally decided to make a living from sushi.
He was born in 1982 in Yamaguchi. Sushi was a part of his life since he was small, as his grandfather was a sushi chef. But he was not sure if a sushi chef was the right occupation for him, so at the age of 18 he had a trip to New Zealand to find himself. After making the final decision to make a living from sushi, at the age of 21 he started training at a renowned restaurant in Tokyo. In 2009, he opened a restaurant in his hometown, Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi. In 2012, the restaurant was relocated to Fukuoka. In 2014, the restaurant won 3 stars which was given to only 2 restaurants including his one.
