中山 大輔NAKAYAMA DAISUKE
-
He was drawn to the charms of French cooking, and his experience in famous restaurants has made him a powerful chef.
He was born in 1975 in Osaka. Although he went to a technical high school, he decided to pursue cooking-in both cases, because he enjoys making things. While learning the basics of service at a hotel, he studied cooking as hard as he could, aiming for places like the Riga Royal Hotel, and he got his dream assignment at the Restaurant Chambord, a famous restaurant known for tradition and formality. He had always hoped to become a French chef, and he fell in love with French food even more in that position, where he spent quality time working under a head chef he greatly admired. He has continued to achieve great things and gain experience since then.

玉城 利也TAMASHIRO TOSHIYA
The Chef's Recommendations -
His own love of Okinawan soba motivated him to pursue the perfect dish
Born in Okinawa in 1985, our chef was raised on Okinawan soba and his love for it is unmatched. His fascination with the dish grew as he went from restaurant to restaurant, observing differences in flavor, until at last he decided to become a chef himself. Of particular importance to him is the balance of bonito and pork in flavoring the dashi broth. His aim is a taste that is refreshing, yet never boring, and he devotes himself wholeheartedly to that pursuit to this day.

國田 健KUNITA TAKESHI
-
A missionary for legitimate Italian cuisine He fell for fresh pasta and chose the path of Italian food
After working in a French restaurant, he was taken to an Italian restaurant by an associate and ate fresh pasta for the first time. He got an incredible shock and, his heart brimming with a desire to learn more, he started learning about Italian cuisine. Crossing over to Italy by himself, his self-confidence, built over a 10 year career, was shattered by the deliciousness of the food made for him by a local old lady, so he started a study of the fundamental importance of making food well. Without purposely pushing to make things different, he tries new techniques and brings in new sensations daily, even as he sticks to the methods of orthodox Italian, all to continue delivering the joy of Italian food.
