During my student years, I joined Japan International Cooperation Agency Volunteers, and gaining wide experience and knowledge. After graduating from college, I studied Kyo-Kaiseki (Kyoto-style cooking) for 4 years in "Hyoutei," in Kyoto. Now, blending Kyo-Kaiseki and local ingredients and the cuisine of Yamagata, I mix tradition with creativity.

Afterwards, his father tried to recreate the Chinese dumplings (gyoza) he had during his time in the army. After trial and error, they started a restaurant specializing in gyoza that his son continues to this day. With each carefully-crafted gyoza, they deliver the heart and flavour of the previous generation.

Nothing says Sendai like gyutan (beef tongue)!
Nothing says Sendai like gyutan (beef tongue)! Interested in local ingredients, he took a job at Rikyu where he is now in charge of the grill. His motto is to take high quality ingredients and carefully grill them to perfection. "Grilling gyutan is fairly straightforward, and yet the flavor differs with each chef. I find that fascinating," Takashi remarks, as he affectionately tends the grill.
