石井 勇介Yusuke Ishii
-
This young, 3rd-generation chef is polishing his skills under the watchful eyes of predecessor who is his teacher and his goal at the same time.
He was born in Tokyo in 1986. After graduating from high school and working in a different industry, he decided at the age 20 of that he was going to take over the family business, [Kawaei], someday. He set the goal of achieving the skill set of his father, the chef of the restaurant before he took over, and learned by observing him. In his 10th year working there, although he still said [my father is still a much better chef than I am], the previous generation watched over his technique as he took over the restaurant. While preserving the techniques passed down from his grandfather, he also takes a flexible approach to the changing era. In this way, he is aiming to establish a new style for the restaurant.

他力野 慶太Keita Tarikino
-
Challenging the Shuhari (follow the rules, break the rules, transcend the rules) of Japanese cuisine, Mr. Tarikino fascinates guests with various "freshly prepared" dishes that embrace the seasons.
He was born in 1974 in Nagasaki. Attracted by the way a chef finishes skewers behind the counter at a yakitori restaurant in his hometown, he decided to pursue a career in the culinary field. After training at kappou and Japanese restaurants in Nagasaki City, he studied at a Japanese restaurant in Yokohama City. Then, he got to work with the Ukai Group and became the head chef at kappou ukai in Ginza Roppongi. As the culmination of his efforts, he founded his current restaurant in July 2022 and became independent. Serving dishes at the counter, which is his starting point, he serves " freshly prepared" dishes with creative and unique arrangements.

佐藤 光朗Mitsuo Sato
The Chef's Recommendations -
Making proper efforts to pursue a deliciousness hidden in the traditional dish.
Born in 1980 in Tokyo, he raised up watching his father who ran a pork cutlet restaurant. It was natural for him to help his father before going to school in his days as a student. After graduating from a university, he started working at [Sugita] to succeed his family business, then became the 2nd generation in 2011. He is modest to say that his restaurant is a small bistro in this town but still making efforts every day to be better than any other restaurant, and wishing the guests to say [though pork cutlet is a casual food, his dish is special].

Offering the finest quality Japanese beef at a reasonable price.
Mr. Horie was born on May 31, 1975, in Tokyo. What started him on this path is the pleasure of working with delicious ingredients and enabling people to enjoy dishes that make those ingredients taste even better. Every day, he offers the finest meats that are hard to find elsewhere, such as Grade A5 Kagoshima black wagyu beef purchased directly from wholesalers at a price that provides excellent value for money. His motto is to offer customers more satisfying dishes than their price, so he carefully trims and prepares each cut of beef to maximize its flavor.

The natural flavor of eel is enhanced using proven techniques.
Mr. Yada was born in 1998 in Aichi. Growing up in Nagoya's hitsumabushi and eel culture, he became interested in eel cuisine. After training at a major eel specialty restaurant, he also gained experience at private restaurants and mastered a wide range of techniques. While eel is an inherently expensive foodstuff, inexpensive eel has also been distributed in recent years. In these circumstances, he strives to offer eels that taste better using reliable techniques. While respecting traditional cooking methods, he aims to serve the authentic taste of eel.
