江部 惠一Keiichi Ebe
The Chef's Recommendations -
The chef is the head of a cook agency, but he is leading other chefs with his excellent skills, not by his lineage.
Born in Tokyo in 1959. He studied in the Faculty of Law at a university. After some hesitation about his future, at the age of 23 he decided to enter Noda Cook Agency which is his family business. He noticed that many people started a training as teenagers, and therefore not all the people surrounding him welcomed him. However, he self-imposed to enhance skills, and did it very quickly. Finally everybody acknowledged him as the head of the restaurant. In 2015 he got a laryngeal cancer, but revived. Currently, he is in charge of grilled dishes with the motto of [never retire till the death].
