田中 匡Kyo Tanaka
The Chef's Recommendations -
Have his delicious [okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake)] and be cheerful!
He was born in 1983 in Hiroshima. When he was a student, he had a part time job at a restaurant where he realized that cooking and service was fun for him. Through the recommendation of the owner of the restaurant, he decided to be a chef and started full-scale training. He still remembers how happy he was when he mastered the professional level [okonomiyaki] after a long training. The training took a long time, however he was able to learn the deepness of the teppanyaki (grilled on iron griddle) and okonomiyaki foods. Strongly wishing to cook more delicious food, he is currently working actively as the master chef.

吉田 健司Kenji Yoshida
The Chef's Recommendations -
A sushi chef who truly values the ability to socialize with guests face to face
Born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1969, from a young age Mr. Yoshida knew that he wanted to work in a profession that made people feel happy and delighted. He set his sights on becoming a sushi chef in particular, since he wanted to interact with customers each day and see them smile, rather than be isolated in a kitchen. He started his career at a sushi restaurant in his hometown of Kurume, and then after 8 years there he moved on to Japanese cuisine and other styles to build up his culinary repertoire. After that in June of 2005 he was in a position to make his dreams a reality by setting out independently to open Sushi Yoshida. Today you can find him there showcasing his talents as owner and head chef.

蓮見 壽Hisashi Hasumi
-
A famous "udon critic" who became the owner of his own handmade udon restaurant.
Born on November 7th, 1952 in Saitama prefecture. As a boy, he "disliked" the udon made from dry noodles that was served at his home, and grew up to be a "udon critic." He was quite impressed after trying a package of "homemade wheat flour for udon" at the supermarket, and became addicting to making his own udon noodles. With over 10 years of udon critique under his belt, he was then able to not only converse with udon chefs he met in his travels as a customer, but as a fellow chef, enabling him to polish both his skills and tongue at the same time. Finally, he opened his own udon noodle restaurant in 2012.

嶌影 幸作Kosaku Shimakage
The Chef's Recommendations -
He became interested in cooking after seeing his mother in the kitchen and soon began making things with her
He enjoyed making things from an early age and was particularly captivated by cooking. He would often cook with his mother for his whole family and it made him happy to see their smiles as they ate. After graduation, he found a job but was unable to forget the joy of cooking and the smiling faces of people eating delicious food, so he entered the restaurant industry. He searched for a place where customers' reactions could be seen and found an izakaya (Japanese bar) with an open kitchen, where he accumulated work experience. When that restaurant closed down, he became a chef at Soshu Torigin Kamonomiya, where he could interact with customers in the same way.

服部 亨Toru Hattori
-
After a childhood spent at his mother's food stall, continuing her legacy was a natural choice
Born on March 2nd, 1948 in Kagoshima, he had a natural inclination to cook that stemmed from his experiences watching his mother manage a food stall that served karaage (deep-fried food) and onigiri (rice balls). With these formative experiences, he went on to open his current restaurant as a way to expand upon his mother's business. Although he is a veteran chef with over forty years of professional cooking experience, he has a surprisingly easy going personality that customers adore. And, to add yet another surprise, his menu offers a wide range of great food and alcohol pairings, despite the fact he never drinks a drop of alcohol himself.
