斉藤 誠Makoto Saito
The Chef's Recommendations -
A chef who creates a refined flavor by using the knowledge and techniques he has built up over the years.
He was born in Miyagi Prefecture on March 7, 1959. After graduating high school, he learned the basics of Chinese cuisine at a hotel in Sendai City, as well as in a Chinese restaurant in Gifu. Afterwards, he was made the Assistant Head Chef at a rather famous hotel's Chinese restaurant. Intending to set out on his own, he then furthered his craft in Yokohama's Chinatown area and finally in 1989, he opened [Chinese Restaurant Taigen] in Hakone. As a result of feeling a bit cramped there, he reopened the shop in 2000 in Sengokubara. From there, he gained popularity thanks to word of mouth from my regular customers.

角田 幹男KAKUTA MIKIO
The Chef's Recommendations -
A chef whose spirit is formed on the foundation of strong Japanese cuisine fundamentals interwoven with seasonal delights
After seeing the old style restaurant "Kicho" on TV, he yearned to work at such a place, and enrolled in culinary school. After graduating he got a job at an old style restaurant called Kikumi in Akasaka. After polishing his Japanese cuisine skills at "Kobori" in Akasaka, "Hamaisihi", a fancy restaurant in Ginza, and "Narita View Hotel", he established his own restaurant. He is very picky about the ingredients he uses. He selects organic rice and vegetables from his hometown, and goes to markets to personally pick out the freshest ingredients, allowing customers to experience the full flavor of each season.

土田 学TSUCHIDA MANABU
The Chef's Recommendations -
My career started when I met my mentor, chef Masayuki Okuda at a job interview for a hotel.
Born in 1975, in Yamagata. It was only natural for him, as a food-lover since childhood, to enter the restaurant industry after high school. Based on a newspaper ad, he applied for a position at the Tsuruoka Washington Hotel, where he met his mentor, chef Masayuki Okuda. After working in a restaurant in Akita, he received an offer from Mr. Okuda to work for "Al Checciano", which he accepted. He moved to Tokyo in 2010, and after participating in the opening of several restaurants, he became the chef at"YAMAGATA San-Dan-Delo".

山本 香代子YAMAMOTO KAYOKO
The Chef's Recommendations -
Made to be a meal to remember
My parents ran a teppanyaki and okonomiyaki store from their home, so it was there I learned how to think about the food and beverage industry and how to run a business. This is a favorite place for lovers of internal organ meats. The chef prepares everything in advance, so by learning through imitation, in my own way through self-study and through trial and error, I became a master at making delicious food. With my pet name of Okaasan (mother) and good manners, there are many fans of my character which is overflowing with kindness.

Aiming for a new, loved flavor in his native Hakata
He's loved eating since the beginning, and, a few years into being a cook after collecting experience in western and Italian restaurants, he had a fateful meeting with a certain bowl of ramen. From there, his course was decided. Returning to his native Hakata, he succeeded in developing through repeated trial and error a hitherto-untasted brand new flavor. Since then, he's earned the affection of many customers, and not just locals at that.

By making sure ingredients change every day, there is always an eye on consistent quality.
Born in 1973, and a native of Fukuoka Prefecture, he had always loved food, but was working at a company unrelated to the culinary world. From there, he decided to change occupations and pursue the path of becoming a chef. Every day he constantly watches changes in conditions and the quality of ingredients to insure a consistent high level of quality, which means he is always studying the textures and flavors of the food he has perfected.

Keeping the words "learn from the past" close to his heart and valuing the traditions of Japanese cuisine, he naturally started his career as a chef
Born in Ehime prefecture on August 20, 1975, he grew up in a family who were running Ajisho. So, from a young age, he understood from experience both the severity and joy felt as a chef. Although he had his heart set on becoming a stockbroker while studying at college, he began his career as a chef in order to succeed his father. After graduating from college, he trained in Japanese cuisine and sushi and headed to Ajisho 12 years ago. He continues with devotion every day to being the chef he visualized himself as at a young age, while valuing the traditions and the words "learn from the past" close to his heart.

前川 治MAEKAWA OSAMU
The Chef's Recommendations -
Since deeply enjoying chicken as a child, he headed straight on the path to being a chef.
A chef with strong roots, his father worked as head chef of Tokyo Kaikan and cooked chicken roasts on his days off. Because of his enjoyment of chicken, he set out to be a yakitori (chicken skewer) chef from the age of 19. Since leaving home he spent 20 years leading his siblings at the famous "Kushi Ginza," before opening "Hinaizidori-Yakitori Maekawa" in 2011. Since then he has only used Hyuga Dori and Nagoya Kochin chicken from the best hand-rearing farms in the country. He continues to search for new ways to use the best ingredients.
