An encounter with a chef of French cuisine opened him up to the world of French food.

Always obsessive about fish.
Seafood direct from the Port of Heda, Numazu. Every morning we head to Numazu port to buy our stock. Normally the fishermen bring in their afternoon catch to the Port of Heda to put out at market the next day. But we go directly to buy our fish so by that evening we can serve it in our restaurant. Our customers get to experience a freshness they would normally not be able to do.

This chef decided to devote his life to cooking after meeting the president of the company.
After meeting the president of Jitokko Kumiai Matsue Ekimae, Chef Inoue was startled by the extent to which they shared the same thinking and decided to move from an unrelated industry to become a chef. His eyes shine as he tells us how fun it is for him to receive direct, positive feedback from customers. He also feels that this work, where he gives shape to his own ideas with the design of the menu and flavoring of the food, has real meaning. Each day he works to continue to produce delicious food.

前川 治MAEKAWA OSAMU
The Chef's Recommendations -
Since deeply enjoying chicken as a child, he headed straight on the path to being a chef.
A chef with strong roots, his father worked as head chef of Tokyo Kaikan and cooked chicken roasts on his days off. Because of his enjoyment of chicken, he set out to be a yakitori (chicken skewer) chef from the age of 19. Since leaving home he spent 20 years leading his siblings at the famous "Kushi Ginza," before opening "Hinaizidori-Yakitori Maekawa" in 2011. Since then he has only used Hyuga Dori and Nagoya Kochin chicken from the best hand-rearing farms in the country. He continues to search for new ways to use the best ingredients.

I had a fascination with the hospitality industry and I always hoped to have my own place!
My first job working in the hospitality industry was at an izakaya. While I was working there, I became very interested in the industry and I began to think about starting up my own place. From that time on, all of my attention went into learning how to cook. The izakaya that I worked at focused mainly on seafood based cuisine, which meant that I gained a lot of knowledge and tricks about cooking with fish. People say that my knowledge of fish is on a different level to others.

He's loved eating since early childhood! He dreamed of having his own restaurant.
When he was young, owner Hisayoshi Sugawara's favourite foods were ramen and curry rice. With the spirit of a child, he dreamed of owning his own restaurant. Since it was his favourite food, Hisayoshi was determined to make the ultimate bowl of ramen himself. Trying the ramen at various restaurants, he made continual improvements until settling on the present taste. That's the taste you can enjoy today.

After 40 years at Dojo Iidaya, he knows everything there is to know about dojo (pond loaches)
Born in Miyagi prefecture in 1951, he went to Tokyo to find a job that was different from that of everyone else. He became an apprentice at Dojo Iidaya after learning that it was a restaurant that served dojo (pond loaches), something he rarely ate back home. He has worked and studied the foundations of cooking for over 40 solid years at Dojo Iidaya, and now that he is the head chef, he supports the kitchen with his discerning taste buds, as well as techniques backed by his experience.

By making sure ingredients change every day, there is always an eye on consistent quality.
Born in 1973, and a native of Fukuoka Prefecture, he had always loved food, but was working at a company unrelated to the culinary world. From there, he decided to change occupations and pursue the path of becoming a chef. Every day he constantly watches changes in conditions and the quality of ingredients to insure a consistent high level of quality, which means he is always studying the textures and flavors of the food he has perfected.

土田 学TSUCHIDA MANABU
The Chef's Recommendations -
My career started when I met my mentor, chef Masayuki Okuda at a job interview for a hotel.
Born in 1975, in Yamagata. It was only natural for him, as a food-lover since childhood, to enter the restaurant industry after high school. Based on a newspaper ad, he applied for a position at the Tsuruoka Washington Hotel, where he met his mentor, chef Masayuki Okuda. After working in a restaurant in Akita, he received an offer from Mr. Okuda to work for "Al Checciano", which he accepted. He moved to Tokyo in 2010, and after participating in the opening of several restaurants, he became the chef at"YAMAGATA San-Dan-Delo".
