He decided to become a chef when he discovered the joy of customer service while helping out at his mother's restaurant
He was born in Shizuoka Prefecture in 1947. He aspired to become a chef when he started helping out at his mother's restaurant during his university years and discovered the joy of entertaining customers with food and drink. When his older brother took over his mother's restaurant, he went on to train at a long-established eel shop belonging to one of his relatives. After completing his training roughly 35 years ago, he opened his own restaurant in Gotemba called [Unagi no Hirota.] There, he has carefully preserved the secret sauce and techniques passed down since the Meiji Era, which he inherited from his place of training, and serves delicious eel dishes to customers on a daily basis with his naturally friendly smile.

Bringing smiles to customers by insisting on "speciality" rank quality Matsusaka beef.
Born in 1974 in Toyama prefecture. While he originally worked in a completely seperate industry, he joined the staff at "Ittetsu Takaokahonten" due to a love of yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) and now manages the restaurant. The restuarant only uses "Matsusaka beef." He insists on serving the "speciality" rank, which allows one to enjoy the pure umami (pleasant savory taste) of the red meat itself, something that one cannot do when eating a shimofuri (high-quality marbled) cut. This carefully selected "Matsusaka beef" is always cut and served in the best way that will delight all customers.

He opened the restaurant to introduce cured beef ham that shocked him a lot when he tried for the first time.
He was born in Yamagata city. Meat was familiar for him since he was very young, as his father was running a meat company. In order to offer tasty beef cuisine, and to introduce tasty cured beef ham to many people, he went independent and opened the restaurant after running a company with his father who has an excellent eye for selecting meat and 40 years of experience. His recommended way to taste meat is with BBQ dipping sauce, using garlic from Yamagata prefecture matured for more than half a year, without sugar, understanding the natural sweetness of the meat.

金豊 英学Eigaku Kanetoyo
The Chef's Recommendations -
His mystery sauce and uncompromising approach to selecting ingredients bring satisfaction to his customers
Born in Osaka in 1950, his marriage triggered him to begin his career as a chef. He used to help out at his family's yakiniku (barbecued meat) restaurant, which equipped him with the techniques and exacting standards of a chef. Ten years later, he opened [Yakiniku Senzankaku]. Mr. Kanetoyo says that he "wants to please his customers by providing high quality Japanese black beef at reasonable prices". His original dipping sauce, based on a secret family recipe that he inherited from previous generations, has gained real popularity. The restaurant is now thriving so much that it sometimes sells out of beef.
