石塚 英明ISHIZUKA HIDEAKI
-
His lifework is maintaining and developing the restaurant's recipes that has been handed down for a long time.
He was born in Tokyo in 1944. His father ran a casual restaurant in Nihonbashi, and he set his sights on becoming a chef ever since he was little, as he says, "In the past, taking over the family business was a given, so I never thought about any other paths." At the age of 20, he firstly trained at a Japanese restaurant. After thoroughly learning the basics of Japanese cuisine and how to pick fresh fish from the market, he joined "Tonkatsu Yachiyo", where his father handled the kitchen. Until now, for nearly 50 years since that day, he has been wholeheartedly studying about how to fry the best ingredients into delicious dishes.

Four generations of soba chefs from his family have run this restaurant.

He continues to provide fastidiously prepared cuisine with choice ingredients; yet, you can still visit Trattoria 522 as an everyday restaurant.
