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.
