諸岡 昭二MOROKA SHOJI
-
Our chef's former occupation as an automotive engineer allowed him to transition brilliantly into a culinary architect who lets nothing go to waste.
He had originally worked as an engineer for the automobile industry, but after the Oil Crisis he switched careers to become a chef - a longtime passion. He ran his own food cart while attending culinary school, serving dark beer, which was quite rare at the time. He opened this establishment, "COTTON FIELDS", in 1980. He takes special care in selecting ingredients, and his motto is not to let a single part go to waste, with a special talent for bringing out the unique flavor of each component. He's most famous for his excellent spare ribs, garnished with a secret sauce he invented back in his food cart days.

作元 慎哉SAKUMOTO SHINYA
The Chef's Recommendations -
Breathing new life into traditional Spanish cuisine
He was born in Ishikawa prefecture in 1982. He says that he focused on Spanish cuisine in culinary school because the Latino atmosphere matched his character well. After his graduation, he worked for three years at a hotel in Kanazawa before going to Spain to learn about the flavors in the country itself. In Spain, he trained at famous Michelin-starred restaurants such as "Restaurante Alameda", "Fonda Sala", and "Restaurante Neiche", and he opened "Fermintxo" in Nishi-Azabu after returning to Japan. He continues to present the techniques he learned at those famous restaurants, together with his novel ideas that never adhere to a fixed framework, on a plate.

Our chef adds a stylish presentation to Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine
Our chef was born in May 1965 and is a native of Miyagi Prefecture's Sendai City. His interest in cooking started around the age of 20.

田辺 年男TANABE TOSHIO
The Chef's Recommendations -
From boxer to owner of oden (hot pot dish) stall. And then to French cuisine, in pursuit of the world stage…
He was born in Ibaraki prefecture in 1949. When he was in college, he was selected as one of the candidates to compete in gymnastics for the Olympics, and after graduating, he became a ranked professional boxer in Japan. After wrecking his body and giving up on boxing, he made a 180 degree turn and opened an oden (hot pot dish) stall. However, he says, "That would never allow me to aim for the world stage," and entered the world of French cuisine. He underwent training at a restaurant in Tokyo before going to France. After perfecting his skills for two years in places such as restaurants with three Michelin stars, he returned to Japan, and in 1988, he opened "A Ta Goul" in Ebisu. He took the opportunity to rename his restaurant to "Ne Quittez Pas" when he moved to Gotanda.

Depth that even a connoisseur can taste.
Wanting to use my hands to make a living, I entered the food industry because of my interest in cuisine. With over 20 years since we opened Rikyu, you'll soon find out why connoisseurs say, "When it comes to grilled beef tongue, one seeks the modest sensitivity that's a product of a single coal in the fire. The flavorful depth of each ingredient can change with the chef."
