季　慶浩RI KYONHO

His family ran a yakiniku restaurant, so it was natural for him to go into the same business after graduating from high school.

Born on June 16, 1987 in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. As his parents ran a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant, he had an interest in yakiniku restaurants from a young age. After graduating high school, one thing lead to another, and he trained for 5 years at the famous Fukuoka restaurant, Daitoen. During that time, he met the manager of Kanteki, and they decided to work together. After working at the flagship restaurant in Kobe, they opened the Shibuya branch on April 11, 2012 and he became manager.

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.
