和田 隆WADA TAKASHI

Enjoy "Kushiage" (fried skewers), have fun with the chef, and understand its depth.
After graduating from culinary school, he hoped to become a patissier, so he began working at a French restaurant through an introduction from the school. Following that an acquaintance introduced me to a steakhouse. Ultimately, he wound up working at several different restaurants. When he turned 30, he began thinking about the chef he wanted to become. He started at a kushiage (fried skewers) restaurant. It was his first time interacting with customers at a counter. As a chef, there was nothing better than directly seeing a customer's reaction. 15 years has since passed and he has continued working as a kushiage chef.

小川 勝哉OGAWA KATSUYA
-
A chef who seeks out genuinely delicious food, following the concept of "the pursuit of true flavor"
After graduating from high school, he studied cooking working at a nearby French restaurant, until graduating from the Moranbong Culinary Training School, and going to France at the age of 21. While taking courses at Le Cordon Bleu there, he studied the simple perfection of the local cuisine before returning to Japan. After that, he worked at the Prince Hotel before taking part in planning the opening of the Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu. These days, he seeks out the origin of delicious flavor, taking advantage of nature's bounty, to bring out the inherent flavors of his ingredients and fashion a simple cooking method to create cuisine that defies categorization by country or genre.

諸岡 昭二MOROKA SHOJI
-
Our chef's former occupation as an automotive engineer allowed him to transition brilliantly into a culinary architect who lets nothing go to waste.
He had originally worked as an engineer for the automobile industry, but after the Oil Crisis he switched careers to become a chef - a longtime passion. He ran his own food cart while attending culinary school, serving dark beer, which was quite rare at the time. He opened this establishment, "COTTON FIELDS", in 1980. He takes special care in selecting ingredients, and his motto is not to let a single part go to waste, with a special talent for bringing out the unique flavor of each component. He's most famous for his excellent spare ribs, garnished with a secret sauce he invented back in his food cart days.

This chef decided to devote his life to cooking after meeting the president of the company.
After meeting the president of Jitokko Kumiai Matsue Ekimae, Chef Inoue was startled by the extent to which they shared the same thinking and decided to move from an unrelated industry to become a chef. His eyes shine as he tells us how fun it is for him to receive direct, positive feedback from customers. He also feels that this work, where he gives shape to his own ideas with the design of the menu and flavoring of the food, has real meaning. Each day he works to continue to produce delicious food.

梅田 真志UMEDA SHINJI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Realising his father's greatness and his own culinary aspirations on leaving Hiroshima.
Shinji Umeda was born on March 17th, 1982. He learned much while working a part-time job at a restaurant. The izakaya (Japanese pub) he worked in at that time had an open kitchen, and during everything he did there, from the difficulty of conversing with customers to gaining more knowledge about cooking, he thought to himself "Dad did it like this, and at that time he spoke about this," and the image of his father's face was constantly on his mind. Shinji is currently training at his father's restaurant, studying the culinary arts so that he may one day open his own restaurant full of smiling, satisfied customers.

Depth that even a connoisseur can taste.
Wanting to use my hands to make a living, I entered the food industry because of my interest in cuisine. With over 20 years since we opened Rikyu, you'll soon find out why connoisseurs say, "When it comes to grilled beef tongue, one seeks the modest sensitivity that's a product of a single coal in the fire. The flavorful depth of each ingredient can change with the chef."

Our whole-hearted hope is that you will eat our delicious food and smile
Ever since Mr. Satou was a child he enjoyed food and always loved watching people smile and enjoy themselves as they ate. Thanks to his father, who ran a butcher shop, he was strongly influenced to want to see people enjoy delicious food. He succeeded his father in his butchering business and hormone-manufacturing business, and working there for 25 years he acquired a lot of know-how. At the age of 46 he stepped into the food industry for real, setting up his own shop, and after that opened "Sakura".

斉藤 誠Makoto Saito
The Chef's Recommendations -
A chef who creates a refined flavor by using the knowledge and techniques he has built up over the years.
He was born in Miyagi Prefecture on March 7, 1959. After graduating high school, he learned the basics of Chinese cuisine at a hotel in Sendai City, as well as in a Chinese restaurant in Gifu. Afterwards, he was made the Assistant Head Chef at a rather famous hotel's Chinese restaurant. Intending to set out on his own, he then furthered his craft in Yokohama's Chinatown area and finally in 1989, he opened [Chinese Restaurant Taigen] in Hakone. As a result of feeling a bit cramped there, he reopened the shop in 2000 in Sengokubara. From there, he gained popularity thanks to word of mouth from my regular customers.
