The Chef's Recommendations -
His mystery sauce and uncompromising approach to selecting ingredients bring satisfaction to his customers
Born in Osaka in 1950, his marriage triggered him to begin his career as a chef. He used to help out at his family's yakiniku (barbecued meat) restaurant, which equipped him with the techniques and exacting standards of a chef. Ten years later, he opened [Yakiniku Senzankaku]. Mr. Kanetoyo says that he "wants to please his customers by providing high quality Japanese black beef at reasonable prices". His original dipping sauce, based on a secret family recipe that he inherited from previous generations, has gained real popularity. The restaurant is now thriving so much that it sometimes sells out of beef.
