花田 浩之Hiroyuki Hanada

Mr. Hanada is enjoying his life as a chef, realizing the dream that he has been drawing since childhood.

He was born in 1971 in Fukuoka. His love of cooking since childhood led him to dream of becoming a chef in Osaka. To fulfill this dream, he began training as a chef at a catering restaurant specializing in Kyoto-style kaiseki and Japanese cuisine. The restaurant owner-chef introduced him to Mr. Kurosaki, the executive chef at the time, and he joined Hana-Goyomi. Currently, he stands at the forefront as the restaurant's Executive Head Chef for Japanese cuisine.

甲斐Kai

Using the high expectations and hopes of those around him as a source of motivation, he forges his own path

He was born in Oita Prefecture in 1970. His parents ran a “fugu (blowfish) restaurant and Japanese restaurant” and he grew up in a family of dyed-in-the-wool chefs. As he was raised in constant contact with the culinary world and delicious food from early on, he was naturally aware of the fact that he too would become a chef. After graduating from university, he studied mainly fugu and Japanese dishes, then, in his 30s, sought to make a further leap in his development and gave Western cuisine a try. His insatiably curious mind, which did not stop at Japanese cuisine, continues to create new and spirited dishes.

江村 謙Ken Emura

The Chef's Recommendations

His journey towards becoming a yakitori (grilled chicken) artisan began when he helped out at his uncle's restaurant.

Born in Tokyo in 1964, Me. Mr. Emura began a career working at a company but was invited to help out at the izakaya (Japanese style pub) that his uncle runs, which is where he learned to grill chicken. At a time, the izakaya was so popular that they grilled 400 skewers of yakitori per day. However, it was forced to close due to the building's deterioration. At that point, Mr. Emura received an offer from culinary researcher Ms. Yukiko Hirano, who was an acquaintance of his. He opened "76Vin" in 2012, with her producing the food and the restaurant space.

小野田 弘毅Hiroki Onoda

Mr. Onoda's interest in food began at an early age and led him to become a chef.

He was born in 1958 in Tsukiji, Tokyo. With a father who was a wholesaler, he was exposed to food from an early age and became a chef. While working hard at a Japanese restaurant, he encountered Bian when things were going differently than expected. It has about eight branches in Tokyo, but the Yokohama branch is characterized by its space. Although people tend to imagine teppanyaki as a style where food is grilled right before them, Onoda says that his restaurant's style of serving food in private rooms results from consideration for the customers' comfort.
