星山 忠史Tadashi Hoshiyama
The Chef's Recommendations -
His childhood dreams came true after becoming a reputed sushi chef known for his expert craftsmanship
Mr. Hoshiyama was born in July of 1981 and grew up in Osaka. He was captivated by professional chefs when he was a child in middle school, and those experiences of watching chefs work from behind the counter ended up leading him to where he is today. After his high school graduation he spent seven years training at Tsukiji Sushi-Sei and then another five years at Matsumoto in Kyoto’s Gion district. From there he ventured out on his own to open Sushi Hoshiyama in 2012. Then the very next year he earned a star from a well-known restaurant guide. Today you can find him at his highly regarded restaurant where he pushes forward each day with carefully selected handpicked ingredients.

He was impressed by the top-class yakiniku restaurant that his brother-in-law took him to when he was a high school student
Hiroto Fujiwara was born in Osaka in 1969. The meat that he ate at the top-class yakiniku restaurant that his brother-in-law took him to was so much nicer than anything that he had tasted before, that he was deeply moved by it. The desire to open a yakiniku restaurant and spread this joy to even more people led him down the path towards becoming a chef. After graduating from high school, he trained for 14 years at Kainantei in Uehonmachi, Osaka. After that, he deepened his understanding of meat at many yakiniku restaurants, before opening Sumibi Yakiniku Tsurugyu.

His dream to become a chef came true. Now he makes passionate Italian cuisine in a brand new style
He was born in 1979 in Okayama prefecture. He often went out to eat with his parents as a child, and soon he secretly longed to become a chef in the future.

藤原 崇史FUJIWARA TAKASHI
-
The parttime job that he had at an izakaya when he was a high school student inspired him to become a chef.
The reason why he decided to get a part-time job in an izakaya (Japanese pub restaurant) was that he wanted to eat the free food. It may not have been the most romantic reason, but this is what led to his career in the restaurant business. Through his part-time job he learned how much fun cooking was, and decided to attend catering college. At college he met fellow students who would play an important part in shaping his future career. After graduating, he spent time working in three different Japanese restaurants. After working for ten years, he and his friends from college opened "Jounetsu Shokusai Kyoshoku". Later, in 2014, they opened "Fujiya Kyoshoku".
