The Chef's Recommendations -
Hard work is the secret behind our smart chef's true talent
He was born in 1983 as a native of Osaka prefecture. His father's influence led him to enter the restaurant business. He spent eleven years working for the Japan Airlines Hotel "Les Celebrites" restaurant (in Shinsaibashi, Osaka), and while he was there, he won a number of prizes for his French cuisine in cooking competitions. At the young age of 29 he became a sous chef, supported by his customers who loved French cuisine. On July 12th, 2013, he opened "Difference" as the owner and chef.

Our spirited chef started with a yearning for beautiful, delicious food
He was born in 1975 in Muromachi, Kyoto. His grandfather was a craftsman who painted ceramics in the Yuzen style, and he says, "He'd often take me to restaurants and art galleries when I was young." Having been raised around so many beautiful and delicious things, he longed to become a chef of Kyoto-style cuisine, and after graduating from high school, he headed down that path. He trained at famous restaurants like "Gion Sasaki", worked as head chef of "Warabi no Sato", and in 2008 opened "Gion Nishikawa". His motto is to be open and welcoming, and he serves his guests with a friendy smile and candid voice.

Providing topquality beef cultivated by scouring the industry with a critical eye.
Born in 1956 in Sanda city, Hyogo prefecture. For eight years he threw himself into ensuring product quality within the meat industry, attaining a qualification as a 'meat specialist'. After that he began to take an interest in attracting customers from far and wide to his home base of Hyogo with nothing but a "home-grown beef tenderloin course" and just like that, Sandaya was born. Currently he uses skills and techniques fostered by his experience in the meat industry throughout the whole store.

The Chef's Recommendations -
Your delighted smiles over his cooking makes him happy
Born in 1972 in Okayama. He's loved to make and enjoy food ever since he was a child. When someone would smile with delight over his cooking it made him so happy that he decided to make it a career. After training at a number of hotel restaurants he was hired at the French restaurant Philippe Aubron where he worked for five years before moving to France. There he refined his culinary skills at restaurants like Moulin De Mougins in Cannes and Lyon. When he returned to Japan he worked for Italian BAL for a time before striking out on his own.
