Cutting is the top priority for this young chef, as it changes the taste of meat.

Currently, he is involved in all cooking operations as the chief of the Naha Kokusai-dori branch. Cutting is the top priority for him, as each beef cut has a different amount of fat, and therefore the way of cutting changes the taste of the meat. His goal as a chef is to bring out the character of each cut by cutting them carefully and serve the best-conditioned meat to the guests. His sincere attitude towards the job with a high aim is highly received.
