清水 真樹SHIMIZU MASAKI
-
Wanting to become an artisan from a young age, he has taken his place in the world of cuisine
He pursued the world of cuisine because he loved eating as a child and had dreamed of being an artisan ever since he was young. He also gained a strong interest in cooking through his mother who was a very good cook. He opened his own restaurant in 2000 after training at Chinzanso and the restaurant Rezzo in Kyodo. He continues to provide fastidiously prepared cuisine with choice ingredients; yet, you can still visit Trattoria 522 as an everyday restaurant.

服部 公一HATTORI KOICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
The traditional homemade food that he finally reached after traveling all over Spain.
He was born in Tokyo in 1979. He found employment for a period after graduating from college, but resolved to aim to become a chef. With just the clothes on his back, he went to Spain and perfected his skills over five and a half years in a total of eleven restaurants, from bars on the street to famous modern Spanish restaurants. He was particularly surprised by the homemade food that he encountered in the rural community of Catalonia. This surprise carried over to "Amets", which he opened soon after returning to Japan. He admired wild game so much that he obtained a hunting license by himself, and he is distinctly characterized by his speedy actions, as he says, "Once I think about it, I do it immediately."

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.
