He was born in Ibaraki prefecture in 1949. When he was in college, he was selected as one of the candidates to compete in gymnastics for the Olympics, and after graduating, he became a ranked professional boxer in Japan. After wrecking his body and giving up on boxing, he made a 180 degree turn and opened an oden (hot pot dish) stall.

After perfecting his skills for two years in places such as restaurants with three Michelin stars, he returned to Japan, and in 1988, he opened "A Ta Goul" in Ebisu.

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."

宮本 義隆MIYAMOTO YOSHITAKA
The Chef's Recommendations -
The local flavor and cooking philosophy learned at a small restaurant in northern Italy
He was born in Kanagawa prefecture in 1974. He chose to take on Italian cooking under the influence of his brother, Munetaka, who entered the culinary world before him. He underwent training at a famous restaurant in Tokyo before going to Italy in 1999. He perfected his skills there for seven years, with a focus on the northernmost region of Trentino-Alto Adige. While he was there, he ventured into choosing a small restaurant so as to personally experience life in Italy at the location itself. The skills that he learned there, together with the cooking philosophy prized in the area, also show themselves in "ICARO", which he opened with his brother after returning to Japan.
