小高 孝之ODAKA TAKAYUKI

The Chef's Recommendations

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

Born in 1965, in Tokyo. By the time he was a junior high school student he had already decided to become a soba chef, and after graduating from college he started training at Kanda Matsuya. Along with his father, the other senior members of staff taught him soba making techniques and how the shop was run. It would take ten years of work before he was able to do everything. As a soba chef, and a man inheriting the restaurant from the generations before him, he has the flexibility to ensure that the traditional taste and style of Kanda Matsuya is maintained, while also looking towards new things.
