The parttime job he had in university paved the way to where he is today
Takashi Yamada was born in Hokkaido on the 19th of June, 1948. The part-time job he held at a sushi restaurant whilst he was at university was the spur that drove him into the culinary world. When his part-time job finished, he simply went on to become a full-time employee there. He performed a great deal of training and learned about cooking as a sushi chef. In 1975, he became the manager of the restaurant and began to look after the administrative side as well. In 1981, he went independent and opened Sohonke Yamako, where he currently spends every day displaying his proficient culinary talent. He is an expert of Japanese cuisine who lets the flavours of the ingredients speak for themselves, which is loved by customers of all ages.

Watching Teikoku Hotel's head chef Nobuo Murakami cook on television moved me

中嶋 貞治Sadaharu Nakajima
The Chef's Recommendations -
Shouldering the history of Japanese cooking and inheriting the legacy of first-class chefs.
Born in Tokyo in 1956. His grandfather worked as a first generation chef at Hoshigaoka, presided over by the famed artist Rosanjin Kitaoji, and in 1931 established Kappo Nakajima in Ginza. His father opened the independently-affiliated Shinjuku Kappo Nakajima, and Mr. Nakajima himself joined the shop in 1980 after training in Kyoto. Succeeding the culinary philosophy of his father, his grandfather and Rosanjin, he stands upon the fundamental traditions of Kansai (western Japanese) traditional cooking, all while exercising creativity in the development of new dishes. With his passion for food education, he has also taken on other roles such as the president of the Chojin ("superman") Chef's Club and is active across many fields.

The Chef's Recommendations -
If I were to have a restaurant I'd have a sushi restaurant
Always in love with sushi, the owner desired to have a sushi restaurant of his own. His dream came true at age 30, setting up his own restaurant after going through much painful training. Bringing in fresh ingredients from fatty tuna from Shakotan, Hokkaido, to conger eel from Uchiurawan, the chef is especially picky when it comes to choosing ingredients, going as far as Kyushu depending on the ingredients.

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.
