柏田 幸二郎KASHIWADA KOJIRO
The Chef's Recommendations -
A chef who layers the flavors of the four seasons and the encounters between people
Kojiro Kashiwada is a native of Miyazaki Prefecture in Kyushu. Because he had a dining hall for a home, he naturally chose the path of the chef. After training at a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) in Osaka that specialized in catering, he worked for five years at Gyozantei in Miyazaki before moving to Tokyo in order to establish the second branch of that restaurant in the Akasaka neighborhood. He worked for about seven years at the Akasaka store before setting out on his own. It has been 16 years since he first opened Kasane.

After 40 years at Dojo Iidaya, he knows everything there is to know about dojo (pond loaches)
Born in Miyagi prefecture in 1951, he went to Tokyo to find a job that was different from that of everyone else. He became an apprentice at Dojo Iidaya after learning that it was a restaurant that served dojo (pond loaches), something he rarely ate back home. He has worked and studied the foundations of cooking for over 40 solid years at Dojo Iidaya, and now that he is the head chef, he supports the kitchen with his discerning taste buds, as well as techniques backed by his experience.

前川 治MAEKAWA OSAMU
The Chef's Recommendations -
Since deeply enjoying chicken as a child, he headed straight on the path to being a chef.
A chef with strong roots, his father worked as head chef of Tokyo Kaikan and cooked chicken roasts on his days off. Because of his enjoyment of chicken, he set out to be a yakitori (chicken skewer) chef from the age of 19. Since leaving home he spent 20 years leading his siblings at the famous "Kushi Ginza," before opening "Hinaizidori-Yakitori Maekawa" in 2011. Since then he has only used Hyuga Dori and Nagoya Kochin chicken from the best hand-rearing farms in the country. He continues to search for new ways to use the best ingredients.

田辺 年男TANABE TOSHIO
The Chef's Recommendations -
From boxer to owner of oden (hot pot dish) stall. And then to French cuisine, in pursuit of the world stage…
He was born in Ibaraki prefecture in 1949. When he was in college, he was selected as one of the candidates to compete in gymnastics for the Olympics, and after graduating, he became a ranked professional boxer in Japan. After wrecking his body and giving up on boxing, he made a 180 degree turn and opened an oden (hot pot dish) stall. However, he says, "That would never allow me to aim for the world stage," and entered the world of French cuisine. He underwent training at a restaurant in Tokyo before going to France. After perfecting his skills for two years in places such as restaurants with three Michelin stars, he returned to Japan, and in 1988, he opened "A Ta Goul" in Ebisu. He took the opportunity to rename his restaurant to "Ne Quittez Pas" when he moved to Gotanda.

A veteran shop loved by the locals for many years. The unchanged taste of the yakitori goes to show they are particular about good flavor.
There was a time when I walked around and ate at all the yakitori shops in the city, tells Mr. Shigeyama. His love for yakitori lead him to open his "Yakitori House Nonchan" in 1984. You can take the finest quality ingredients for granted, and every skewer is carefully prepared by hand in-house. There is no end to the regulars who make their way in for a taste of Mr. Shigeyama's carefully crafted yakitori.

服部 公一HATTORI KOICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
The traditional homemade food that he finally reached after traveling all over Spain.
He was born in Tokyo in 1979. He found employment for a period after graduating from college, but resolved to aim to become a chef. With just the clothes on his back, he went to Spain and perfected his skills over five and a half years in a total of eleven restaurants, from bars on the street to famous modern Spanish restaurants. He was particularly surprised by the homemade food that he encountered in the rural community of Catalonia. This surprise carried over to "Amets", which he opened soon after returning to Japan. He admired wild game so much that he obtained a hunting license by himself, and he is distinctly characterized by his speedy actions, as he says, "Once I think about it, I do it immediately."

A promising young chef who polished his skills under the guidance of one of the masters of creative Japanese cooking, Rokusaburo Michiba.
The son of the owner of a Japanese restaurant named 'Ampuku', he grew up with an intimate connection to food and a fascination for cooking. He took his first step on the culinary road at the age of 19, when he joined a 'kaiseki' banquet restaurant in Gifu as a chef, and later refined his skills further at Poisson Rokusaburo in Tokyo's Akasaka.

I had a fascination with the hospitality industry and I always hoped to have my own place!
My first job working in the hospitality industry was at an izakaya. While I was working there, I became very interested in the industry and I began to think about starting up my own place. From that time on, all of my attention went into learning how to cook. The izakaya that I worked at focused mainly on seafood based cuisine, which meant that I gained a lot of knowledge and tricks about cooking with fish. People say that my knowledge of fish is on a different level to others.

飯野 究IINO KIWAMU
The Chef's Recommendations -
Seeing the form of the maker in the made is the charm of "vin naturel"
Born 1974 and coming from Gunma, he went on to a culinary college after graduating high school, aiming to be a chef. Graduating from there, he spent some time in another line of work before working a chef for about twelve years at an Italian restaurant in Hachioji. BIANCARA's owner, Mr. Kodaira, was in the same year as him in middle school, and from 2012 he has been chef here. Though coming from an background in Italian, and the closeness to wine that brings, he says that he first drank natural wine coming to BIANCARA. At current, he's tending and bringing to fruition wine conversation with guests daily.
