From the chef

His signature crafted tofu cuisine comes backed by years of Japanese culinary training.

He was born in 1969 and grew up in Mie Prefecture. During his childhood, he would catch fish on his own to cook with, which was the beginning of his culinary dreams of becoming a chef. After he graduated from high school, he went on to spend three years in Nagoya to gain experience at the restaurant Nadaman in the Tokyu Hotel. From there, he went back to his hometown in Ise to work with traditional Japanese cuisine at a restaurant named Katsuragawa. After three additional years of training, he went on to spend 10 years working at Sushi Kyu on the historic Okage Yokocho side street. At age 35, he joined Tofu-ya and eventually worked his way up to become a head chef. You can find him there today preparing a wide variety of tofu and other soy-based dishes.
