浅野　雅次ASANO MASATSUGU

The Chef's Recommendations

Transformed from a westernstyle restaurant to Japanese 'izakaya' (barrestaurant), with the aim of creating a place where a group of regulars gather around the bar area.

After training mainly in French and Western cuisine from the age of 18, he switched over to what he's wanted to do from his 20s, and that's working in an izakaya Japanese bar. He is currently entrusted with the cooking at Yakitori Oden Zen. Taking special care to note the seasons, he makes classic oden (winter vegetable soup) as well as other original dishes.

齋藤　博重Hiroshige Saito

Warmly receiving customers with a smile at Umaimon

He was born and raised in Fukushima, but left for Tokyo to train at a Japanese restaurant for 15 years before coming back to Fukushima to open Izakaya Umaimon at age 33. However, for a short while he relocated to Osaka, due to his shop being within the evacuation zone after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. After that, because of his deep familiarity with Tokyo, he decided to set up shop in one of the city's lively downtown shopping districts, and in April of 2012 he opened up Izakaya Umaimon in the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku.

大林禎OBAYASHITEI

An Encounter with the Master of a LongStanding Sake Shop, a Journey to Discover the Choicest Sake

Born in 1955 in Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 18 he bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo and began his live-in training to be a chef. He opened "Kushikoma", which was originally just a normal izakaya (Japanese-style bar), at around 25 years of age. After that, he discovered a new-born love of sake (Japanese rice wine) upon meeting Mr. Mitsuhisa Kodama of the legendary "Koshuya" bar in Ikebukuro. The foundations were then laid for the present incarnation of "Kushikoma", which he realized through subsequent pilgrimages to breweries all over Japan to gather up the very best sake.
