From the chef
Introducing the taste of Yamagata and the fun of Robatayaki.

Mr. Sakai was born in 1978 in Yamagata. After working as a company employee in the Kanto region, he returned to his hometown at 24. Since then, he has been running Ajinosato Bandai with his parents. In 2021, his idea redesigned the Robata (fireside) to its current form. Until then, chefs used to cook sitting down, but he changed to a standing style of grilling to be able to move aggressively. The distance to the guests is closer, giving the restaurant a more "entertaining" robatayaki atmosphere.
