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.

今井 速雄Hayao Imai
The Chef's Recommendations -
A desire to convey the splendor that the seasonal ingredients found in Hida's wilderness have to as many people as possible.
Spring brings budding "fragrant wild plants", summer provides "natural river fish from clear waters", and "a harvest of wild mushrooms" pop up in fall. In winter, he expertly prepares what he calls "truly delicious wild game" for his customers to cook. In order to acquire these seasonal ingredients, the chef makes an effort to personally travel to the mountains and rivers for the sake of maintaining the traditional practice of "self provision." Through his cooking, he hopes that customers who visit the restaurant will come to appreciate the splendor that comes from Hida's wilderness.

佐藤 光朗Mitsuo Sato
The Chef's Recommendations -
Making proper efforts to pursue a deliciousness hidden in the traditional dish.
Born in 1980 in Tokyo, he raised up watching his father who ran a pork cutlet restaurant. It was natural for him to help his father before going to school in his days as a student. After graduating from a university, he started working at [Sugita] to succeed his family business, then became the 2nd generation in 2011. He is modest to say that his restaurant is a small bistro in this town but still making efforts every day to be better than any other restaurant, and wishing the guests to say [though pork cutlet is a casual food, his dish is special].
