栖原 一之Kazuyuki Suhara
The Chef's Recommendations -
Deeply moved by the flavors he encountered at a wellknown former restaurant, he chose the world of Chinese cuisine without hesitation
Born in Tokyo in 1964. When he was in elementary school his father took him to the former famous chinese restaurant Dai Ichiro. The impact of the shark fin soup he had there would lead him to choose his career path later. From the age of 21 he trained at a Shanghai-style restaurant in the city, and at the age of 28 he opened Ryuen in his native Asakusa. At first it was mainly a noodle shop, but after exchanging ideas with chefs of specializing in a variety of cuisines, it changed into its present creative Chinese food style. It has been open for 20 years now and it continues to evolve.

Here we deliver the heart and flavour of "Terui" that has been passed down from the previous generation.
He was born in 1949 and is from Hiroshima. After the war, his mother and father opened up a Japanese restaurant. Afterwards, his father tried to recreate the Chinese dumplings (gyoza) he had during his time in the army. After trial and error, they started a restaurant specializing in gyoza that his son continues to this day. With each carefully-crafted gyoza, they deliver the heart and flavour of the previous generation.

With steam and speed, this chef offers up Chinese Taiwan cuisine.
I was born in June, 1983 in the city of Hakodate in Hokkaido Prefecture. I was influenced by my father, who ran an Izakaya, and so after I graduated from high school, I decided to learn the ropes of the service industry at a local Japanese-style restaurant. I entered the world of Chinese Taiwan cuisine in 2009 when I started working at Chinese Taiwan Restaurant Misen, thanks to a family connection. I learned by watching Sho, a veteran who showed me how to utilize steam and speed, a style of cooking which is very different from Japanese-style cuisine. It was a period of diligent training for me and I spent my days polishing my skills in the kitchen.

After finishing school in China, I started working at a restaurant.
From the age of 20, I trained at Chinese restaurants and worked for 20 years in China. At the time it was tough, but I started with the fundamentals of Chinese cuisine. After this, I came to Japan and worked at a restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown where I offered up Chinese food to Japanese customers. In 2012, I achieved my dream of opening my own restaurant, Kokien, right here in Yokohama Chinatown. I would love for you to come and try my authentic Chinese dishes.

斉藤 誠Makoto Saito
The Chef's Recommendations -
A chef who creates a refined flavor by using the knowledge and techniques he has built up over the years.
He was born in Miyagi Prefecture on March 7, 1959. After graduating high school, he learned the basics of Chinese cuisine at a hotel in Sendai City, as well as in a Chinese restaurant in Gifu. Afterwards, he was made the Assistant Head Chef at a rather famous hotel's Chinese restaurant. Intending to set out on his own, he then furthered his craft in Yokohama's Chinatown area and finally in 1989, he opened [Chinese Restaurant Taigen] in Hakone. As a result of feeling a bit cramped there, he reopened the shop in 2000 in Sengokubara. From there, he gained popularity thanks to word of mouth from my regular customers.

By making sure ingredients change every day, there is always an eye on consistent quality.
Born in 1973, and a native of Fukuoka Prefecture, he had always loved food, but was working at a company unrelated to the culinary world. From there, he decided to change occupations and pursue the path of becoming a chef. Every day he constantly watches changes in conditions and the quality of ingredients to insure a consistent high level of quality, which means he is always studying the textures and flavors of the food he has perfected.
