加藤 寛史Hirofumi Kato
The Chef's Recommendations -
Drawn to Minami Aoyama by a dream of opening his own restaurant as soon as possible
Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in June 1978, Chef Kato entered the world of cooking at age 23, but only six years later he was already entrusted to running a restaurant. Few years later, he became owner of a Japanese restaurant in Koenji, but on the lookout for his next project, he eventually found his current spot in Minami Aoyama, opening it in 2014. Though he adheres to traditions of Japanese cooking, he also offer dishes you cannot find anywhere else, and enjoys entertaining guests simply looking for a drink and a snack.
