His specialties: pork cutlets and deepfrying both Western and Eastern
Born 1984 and coming from Tokyo, he's loved tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlets) from an early age. This love lead him to the world of cookery. He trained for six years at Tonkatsuden in Edogawa Ward, picking up the fundamentals. He persists in carefully selecting healthy, delicious, soft, grain-fed pork and gold medal-winning Koshihikari rice from Nita, Okuzumo, and Shimane. Serving up well-priced and filling portions of delicious food, he makes the joy of his customers the worth of his work.

山田 弘YAMADA HIROSHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
If I were to have a restaurant I'd have a sushi restaurant
Always in love with sushi, the owner desired to have a sushi restaurant of his own. His dream came true at age 30, setting up his own restaurant after going through much painful training. Bringing in fresh ingredients from fatty tuna from Shakotan, Hokkaido, to conger eel from Uchiurawan, the chef is especially picky when it comes to choosing ingredients, going as far as Kyushu depending on the ingredients.

中嶋 貞治Sadaharu Nakajima
The Chef's Recommendations -
Shouldering the history of Japanese cooking and inheriting the legacy of first-class chefs.
Born in Tokyo in 1956. His grandfather worked as a first generation chef at Hoshigaoka, presided over by the famed artist Rosanjin Kitaoji, and in 1931 established Kappo Nakajima in Ginza. His father opened the independently-affiliated Shinjuku Kappo Nakajima, and Mr. Nakajima himself joined the shop in 1980 after training in Kyoto. Succeeding the culinary philosophy of his father, his grandfather and Rosanjin, he stands upon the fundamental traditions of Kansai (western Japanese) traditional cooking, all while exercising creativity in the development of new dishes. With his passion for food education, he has also taken on other roles such as the president of the Chojin ("superman") Chef's Club and is active across many fields.

Aiming for a new, loved flavor in his native Hakata
He's loved eating since the beginning, and, a few years into being a cook after collecting experience in western and Italian restaurants, he had a fateful meeting with a certain bowl of ramen. From there, his course was decided. Returning to his native Hakata, he succeeded in developing through repeated trial and error a hitherto-untasted brand new flavor. Since then, he's earned the affection of many customers, and not just locals at that.

Watching Teikoku Hotel's head chef Nobuo Murakami cook on television moved me

Transformed from a westernstyle restaurant to Japanese 'izakaya' (barrestaurant), with the aim of creating a place where a group of regulars gather around the bar area.

紺野 真KONNO MAKOTO
The Chef's Recommendations -
The encounter with natural wine greatly influenced his restaurant's core principles after setting out on his own
He was born in Tokyo in 1969. He went to America during his schooling days, and an experience at a part-time job in a restaurant gave him the motivation to enter this industry. He returned to Japan when he was 29, and pursued further training at a cafe in Harajuku, and the bistro "Au Rendez-Vous" in Chitose-Funabashi. During his training, he encountered natural wine and found himself spellbound by its great flavor. He set out on his own in 2005 and opened "uguisu" in Sangenjaya. In 2011, he opened his second shop, "organ", as its owner.

His love of fishing when he was in university led him down the path to becoming a chef

Upon cooking the fish they caught and getting it just right, all of his friends would be delighted by the great taste. This experience made Yoshihiro think, "I want to get even better at cooking," and thus entered the Miyagi school of cooking and confectionery. He enjoyed acquiring various skills and knowledge and realized his calling to become a chef. After graduation he headed to Tokyo where he trained at a famous Japanese restaurant, before returning to Sendai.
