incorporating new experiments, preserve the traditon of a shop of long standing
I was born in 1957. With my birth, the 4th generation for a restaurant of long standing had arrived. When I was 15, my father passed away and I became strongly conscious of my duty to carry on the family business. During my student years, I joined Japan International Cooperation Agency Volunteers, and gaining wide experience and knowledge. After graduating from college, I studied Kyo-Kaiseki (Kyoto-style cooking) for 4 years in "Hyoutei," in Kyoto. Now, blending Kyo-Kaiseki and local ingredients and the cuisine of Yamagata, I mix tradition with creativity.
