竹谷 直記Naoki Takeya
-
Mr. Takeya is the owner who continues to pursue Matsusaka beef, providing enjoyable moments of food and smiles.
He was born in 1976 in Mie. From a young age, he was familiar with the restaurant industry, including helping out at his older brother's yakiniku restaurant. In 2007, he opened Takeya Gyuuniku-ten. Hoping to "convey the true taste of Matsusaka beef," he decided, after repeated trial and error, to set its own standards for purchasing the beef. He believes that the appeal of yakiniku is that it is "fun" and considers not only the cooking area but also the conversation and atmosphere at the table to be important. As such, the restaurant delivers the deliciousness that supports this enjoyment to the visiting people.

江村 謙Ken Emura
The Chef's Recommendations -
His journey towards becoming a yakitori (grilled chicken) artisan began when he helped out at his uncle's restaurant.
Born in Tokyo in 1964, Me. Mr. Emura began a career working at a company but was invited to help out at the izakaya (Japanese style pub) that his uncle runs, which is where he learned to grill chicken. At a time, the izakaya was so popular that they grilled 400 skewers of yakitori per day. However, it was forced to close due to the building's deterioration. At that point, Mr. Emura received an offer from culinary researcher Ms. Yukiko Hirano, who was an acquaintance of his. He opened "76Vin" in 2012, with her producing the food and the restaurant space.
