He dreamed of being a cook to make better food but became a civil servant. When he was not ready to give up on his dream, he was inspired by his master, a connoisseur at the market. He trained at a kappo restaurant for five years, a Japanese restaurant in the Kansai region, and a restaurant specializing in wagyu beef. Now, as the owner-chef of Sakurachaya, he continues working hard, making full use of his connoisseurship of fresh fish and his connections.
