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.
