Quality ingredients are essential for soba. A soba artisan who ignores profit in order to serve up delicious soba
He was born in 1967 in Ehime Prefecture. The family's soba restaurant had been founded by his father. Growing up watching his father at work, he knew as a young child that he wanted to succeed his father at the restaurant. In order to hone his skills, he left home for years to train at renowned soba restaurants in Chiba Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, and at Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture. He then returned home to take over "Hagi no Chaya". Using only the finest ingredients to serve up the best soba, he pays no attention to profit-a true soba artisan.

The parttime job he had in university paved the way to where he is today
Takashi Yamada was born in Hokkaido on the 19th of June, 1948. The part-time job he held at a sushi restaurant whilst he was at university was the spur that drove him into the culinary world.

In 1975, he became the manager of the restaurant and began to look after the administrative side as well.

中嶋 貞治Sadaharu Nakajima
The Chef's Recommendations -
Shouldering the history of Japanese cooking and inheriting the legacy of first-class chefs.
Born in Tokyo in 1956. His grandfather worked as a first generation chef at Hoshigaoka, presided over by the famed artist Rosanjin Kitaoji, and in 1931 established Kappo Nakajima in Ginza. His father opened the independently-affiliated Shinjuku Kappo Nakajima, and Mr. Nakajima himself joined the shop in 1980 after training in Kyoto. Succeeding the culinary philosophy of his father, his grandfather and Rosanjin, he stands upon the fundamental traditions of Kansai (western Japanese) traditional cooking, all while exercising creativity in the development of new dishes. With his passion for food education, he has also taken on other roles such as the president of the Chojin ("superman") Chef's Club and is active across many fields.

山田 弘YAMADA HIROSHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
If I were to have a restaurant I'd have a sushi restaurant
Always in love with sushi, the owner desired to have a sushi restaurant of his own. His dream came true at age 30, setting up his own restaurant after going through much painful training. Bringing in fresh ingredients from fatty tuna from Shakotan, Hokkaido, to conger eel from Uchiurawan, the chef is especially picky when it comes to choosing ingredients, going as far as Kyushu depending on the ingredients.
