中港 大将NAKAMINATO TAKAYUKI

His father's shop burned to the ground... but continuing the family legacy was his destiny!

Born in Hokkaido in 1974, he grew up watching his father running Minato Sushi, his shop in Asahikawa. After graduating from high school, he decided to become a sushi chef, and spent 7 years in Sapporo and 3 in Tokyo polishing his skills in the preparation of sushi and Japanese cuisine. In 1999, Minato Sushi burned to the ground, and when he heard that the shop was going to be closed for good, he made up his mind. Changing locations, he opened Sushi Minato for a second time, continuing his father's legacy.

紺野 真KONNO MAKOTO

The Chef's Recommendations

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. He returned to Japan when he was 29, and pursued further training at a cafe in Harajuku, and the bistro "Au Rendez-Vous" in Chitose-Funabashi. During his training, he encountered natural wine and found himself spellbound by its great flavor. He set out on his own in 2005 and opened "uguisu" in Sangenjaya. In 2011, he opened his second shop, "organ", as its owner.

斎藤 章二SAITO SHOJI

The Chef's Recommendations

Upholding the name of the famous Futagoyama restaurant after 23 years in service, in a new independent venue.

Born on December 19th, 1958, in Hokkaido, this chef received his first kitchen knife as a child and never put it down. After initial training in sushi restaurants and other kitchens, he then proceeded to serve for 23 years as the chef of the famous Futagoyama restaurant, established more than 40 years ago. When Futagoyama shut down, he decided to continue the tradition by opening his own restaurant, Futayama Shoji, in October 2008. As fishing is his favorite hobby, his menus include his personal catches, as well as wild vegetables in the spring and handpicked mushrooms in the fall. Continuing in the footsteps of a long-tradition, he strives to bring the very best out of his ingredients.

Our spirited chef started with a yearning for beautiful, delicious food

He was born in 1975 in Muromachi, Kyoto. His grandfather was a craftsman who painted ceramics in the Yuzen style, and he says, "He'd often take me to restaurants and art galleries when I was young."

He trained at famous restaurants like "Gion Sasaki", worked as head chef of "Warabi no Sato", and in 2008 opened "Gion Nishikawa". His motto is to be open and welcoming, and he serves his guests with a friendy smile and candid voice.

An Encounter with the Master of a LongStanding Sake Shop, a Journey to Discover the Choicest Sake

Born in 1955 in Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 18 he bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo and began his live-in training to be a chef. He opened "Kushikoma", which was originally just a normal izakaya (Japanese-style bar), at around 25 years of age. After that, he discovered a new-born love of sake (Japanese rice wine) upon meeting Mr. Mitsuhisa Kodama of the legendary "Koshuya" bar in Ikebukuro. The foundations were then laid for the present incarnation of "Kushikoma", which he realized through subsequent pilgrimages to breweries all over Japan to gather up the very best sake.

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.
