After 40 years at Dojo Iidaya, he knows everything there is to know about dojo (pond loaches)
Born in Miyagi prefecture in 1951, he went to Tokyo to find a job that was different from that of everyone else. He became an apprentice at Dojo Iidaya after learning that it was a restaurant that served dojo (pond loaches), something he rarely ate back home. He has worked and studied the foundations of cooking for over 40 solid years at Dojo Iidaya, and now that he is the head chef, he supports the kitchen with his discerning taste buds, as well as techniques backed by his experience.

坂田 慎吾SAKATA SHINGO
The Chef's Recommendations -
Going forward along his dream culinary path in a truly lively bar, coupled with fresh fish
He was born in Kumamoto prefecture in 1982. He loved cooking since he was young, and has had experience working as a part-timer at a small local restaurant in high school and an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) in college. After that, he went down the path of an office worker for a time without forgetting his culinary dream, and went to Tokyo when he was 24. He found employment at companies operating French and Italian restaurants in Yokohama, and studied diligently for about six years at two restaurants. He entered "El Pulpo" in 2011. Although this is his first time at a Spanish bar, his eyes have been opened to the joy that running a bar provides as well. As the chef now, he handles delicious, fresh fish daily.

飯野 究IINO KIWAMU
The Chef's Recommendations -

We want our favorite foods to become our customers' favorites too.
I have always loved making okonomiyaki pancakes at home, so I started working here part time in the second year of high school. And then, falling in love with the taste of monjayaki, I decided to work here full time. I want to serve monjayaki to the customers and have them love it as much as I do!?

A pure and simple Izakaya! Nothing pleases us more than making our customers happy.

The Chef's Recommendations -
A chef who layers the flavors of the four seasons and the encounters between people
Kojiro Kashiwada is a native of Miyazaki Prefecture in Kyushu. Because he had a dining hall for a home, he naturally chose the path of the chef. After training at a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) in Osaka that specialized in catering, he worked for five years at Gyozantei in Miyazaki before moving to Tokyo in order to establish the second branch of that restaurant in the Akasaka neighborhood. He worked for about seven years at the Akasaka store before setting out on his own. It has been 16 years since he first opened Kasane.

A diehard chef, straight along this road from his middleschool longing
Born August 19, 1968, in Yokosuka, Kanazawa, during his middle school days he always gazed upon the neighborhood Chinese restaurant, impressed with the smells and the sounds he heard from its kitchen. He was inspired when a person from the restaurant noticed this and made him fried rice.

He built up experience at many different Chinese restaurants, most notable The Westin Tokyo's Ryutemmon. He has been working at China Room since 2003.

Doing part time work as a student inspired me to enter the world of cuisine
I was born in Tokyo during June 1975, and set my heart on entering the world of cuisine after taking on part time work at a restaurant during my university days. After gaining experience at various restaurants I became a chef at FRENCHIES. As a restaurant where you can casually savor delicious food and wine, we offer a broad menu that is well-matched to the taste of the wines.
