井出 健作IDE KENSAKU

He's been coming home to the shop where his parents cooked at since he was young.
Chef Ide was born in 1976 in Shizuoka Prefecture. Having always been good at making things and working with his hands from the time he was young, upon graduating high school, he returned home to inherit his family's soba shop. The more he learned about cooking, the more it appealed to him. He studied hard and steadily began taking on new challenges. In lieu of training elsewhere, he adopted the attitude of always challenging himself to continually learn. Continuing to preserve the flavors created by his parents while adding his own style, he works on creating new flavors he can be proud from here on into the future.

The Chef's Recommendations -
I dove into the world of food because I wanted to make people happy through my food.
I was born in Kitakyushu City on March 10th, 1978. When I was in elementary school, I helped my parents cook, and their happiness was what made me enter the world of food.

A Young, Talented Chef Trained in Kaiseki Takes on a New Challenge With Yakitori
Chef Tatemori was born in 1978 and grew up in Tokyo. He started to master Japanese cuisine at "Yamazato", a kaiseki (multi-course meal) restaurant in Hotel Okura. At the famous "Hatsu Hana" in Chicago and at "TOKYO TOKYO" in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hawaii, he also served as head chef. Upon returning to Japan, he worked in the Department of Gourmet Development at Suntory before opening a yakitori (grilled chicken) restaurant with a desire to "master the techniques of 'grilling', the oldest known cooking method." He is widely promoting the appeal of the method through a commonly known Japanese food, yakitori.

藤本FUJIMOTO
-
He started in the world of yakiniku (grilled meat) through a meeting with a friend
Chef Fujimoto, from Yokohama City, is a long serving veteran-this year is his 37th. He found employment in the yakiniku business partially through the invitation of a friend. He has devoted himself to this business ever since. Although he temporarily left Yakiniku Restaurant Konandai Kannaien, this year will mark about 13 years since his return. With yakiniku, it is hard to choose ingredients because the taste of the ingredients directly comes through. Also, everyone has different preferences, so it is extremely difficult to flavor things that suit everyone. Successfully facing this difficulty, he is building a thriving restaurant.

The influence of his chef father led him down the same path
Our chef Sano was raised looking up to his chef father from the time he was a child. Seeing how delighted people were when they ate his father's food, he thought, "Someday, I want to make people happy like that with my own cooking," which led him down the same path. Afterwards he built up experience at various Italian restaurants, before opening this establishment. His memories of his father's cooking still form the foundation for Sano's own culinary style even now.

After finishing school in China, I started working at a restaurant.
From the age of 20, I trained at Chinese restaurants and worked for 20 years in China. At the time it was tough, but I started with the fundamentals of Chinese cuisine. After this, I came to Japan and worked at a restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown where I offered up Chinese food to Japanese customers. In 2012, I achieved my dream of opening my own restaurant, Kokien, right here in Yokohama Chinatown. I would love for you to come and try my authentic Chinese dishes.

The Chef's Recommendations -
The skills learned in Switzerland and France are expressed on the plate using local ingredients.
I was born in 1961, in Hiroshima. Since childhood I have been familiar with cooking. I was impressed by sauce bechamel when I tasted it for the first time and decided to go to Europe to become familiar with French cuisine and culture there. Since 1986, for 3 years, I worked and studied in "Geneva Hotel Penta" and "Bern Restaurant Pune" in Switzerland, as well as restaurants like "Auberge L'eridan", "Le Jardin Gourmend", and "San James Club" in France before coming back to Japan. In 1990, I opened "Le Jardin Gourmand".
