服部 亨Toru Hattori
-
After a childhood spent at his mother's food stall, continuing her legacy was a natural choice
Born on March 2nd, 1948 in Kagoshima, he had a natural inclination to cook that stemmed from his experiences watching his mother manage a food stall that served karaage (deep-fried food) and onigiri (rice balls). With these formative experiences, he went on to open his current restaurant as a way to expand upon his mother's business. Although he is a veteran chef with over forty years of professional cooking experience, he has a surprisingly easy going personality that customers adore. And, to add yet another surprise, his menu offers a wide range of great food and alcohol pairings, despite the fact he never drinks a drop of alcohol himself.
