Warmly receiving customers with a smile at Umaimon
He was born and raised in Fukushima, but left for Tokyo to train at a Japanese restaurant for 15 years before coming back to Fukushima to open Izakaya Umaimon at age 33. However, for a short while he relocated to Osaka, due to his shop being within the evacuation zone after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. After that, because of his deep familiarity with Tokyo, he decided to set up shop in one of the city's lively downtown shopping districts, and in April of 2012 he opened up Izakaya Umaimon in the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku.

片山 義邦KATAYAMA YOSHIKUNI
The Chef's Recommendations -
After finishing his job as a businessman, decided to make living with Okonomiyaki.
I was born 1968, in Kagawa. When I quit being a salaryman, I chose the early retirement option of the company I was working for and decided to make my living making "okonomiyaki". After going around to try many restaurants, I chose to train at "Hassho", which was the most delicious. I continuously worked and gained experience under my strict teacher, and in the end, I inherited the restaurant from him when he retired. Under the teaching of "Never forget to concentrate on making delicious dishes, rather than to earn a lot of money", I dedicate myself to the grill for the many guests who kindly line up in front of my restaurant today.

油井 隆一YUI RYUICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
A Renowned Chef, Whose Career Began With Western Food
Mr. Yui was born in 1942 and grew up in Tokyo. Because he was acquainted with French food from a young age due to his mother's influence and also because he is left-handed, which is unusual for a sushi chef, his professional cooking career started with Western food at "Tokyo Kaikan." After completing his training, Mr. Yui returned to his birthplace and parents' home, "Kizushi" in Tokyo's Ningyocho, where he started from the lower ranks, acquiring the skills to become a sushi chef. Supplementing the traditions of Edo-style sushi with his skills in Western cuisine, Chef Yui is a leader in Tokyo's culinary scene.

The encounter with natural wine greatly influenced his restaurant's core principles after setting out on his own
He was born in Tokyo in 1969. He went to America during his schooling days, and an experience at a part-time job in a restaurant gave him the motivation to enter this industry.

阿部 友彦ABE TOMOHIRO
The Chef's Recommendations -
From Italian food to yakitori, he closed his own shop to train at a famous restaurant
He was born in Niigata prefecture in 1984. After graduating from culinary school, he began his culinary career as a chef at "Kihachi". When he was just 23 years old, he opened an Italian dining restaurant in Akabane, but a turning point suddenly reached him. While he was casually imagining his future, what surfaced clearly in his head was, as he says, "The image of a yakitori (grilled chicken) craftsman standing diligently in front of a small grill." He worked as an apprentice at "Torishiki" when he was 28. After about a year and a half years of training, he opened "gallus" in June 2013 and has been in charge of it since then.
