門野 倫也Michiya Kadono
The Chef's Recommendations -
From part-time work during high school, Mr. Kadono chose the path of living on his own skills.
He was born in 1973 in Hyogo. He gained experience in the food and beverage industry through a part-time job during high school. Despite working as a salaried employee at a major corporation, he aspired to work independently with his skills, leading to his decision to leave the company. He was fortunate to have good colleagues and trained in Western cuisine, Japanese cuisine, French cuisine, and handmade soba noodles. Through this journey, he came across the owner of Fujino, and has been serving as the head chef since 2014. With a desire to expand his culinary expertise, he learned handmade soba, and he makes sure to create menus that utilize his many experiences.
