Always obsessive about fish.
Seafood direct from the Port of Heda, Numazu. Every morning we head to Numazu port to buy our stock. Normally the fishermen bring in their afternoon catch to the Port of Heda to put out at market the next day. But we go directly to buy our fish so by that evening we can serve it in our restaurant. Our customers get to experience a freshness they would normally not be able to do.

山本 香代子YAMAMOTO KAYOKO
The Chef's Recommendations -
Made to be a meal to remember
My parents ran a teppanyaki and okonomiyaki store from their home, so it was there I learned how to think about the food and beverage industry and how to run a business. This is a favorite place for lovers of internal organ meats. The chef prepares everything in advance, so by learning through imitation, in my own way through self-study and through trial and error, I became a master at making delicious food. With my pet name of Okaasan (mother) and good manners, there are many fans of my character which is overflowing with kindness.

國田 健KUNITA TAKESHI
-
A missionary for legitimate Italian cuisine He fell for fresh pasta and chose the path of Italian food
After working in a French restaurant, he was taken to an Italian restaurant by an associate and ate fresh pasta for the first time. He got an incredible shock and, his heart brimming with a desire to learn more, he started learning about Italian cuisine. Crossing over to Italy by himself, his self-confidence, built over a 10 year career, was shattered by the deliciousness of the food made for him by a local old lady, so he started a study of the fundamental importance of making food well. Without purposely pushing to make things different, he tries new techniques and brings in new sensations daily, even as he sticks to the methods of orthodox Italian, all to continue delivering the joy of Italian food.
