大濱 幸恵OOHAMA YUKIE

The Chef's Recommendations

A career that granted her a chance to fulfill her dream of competing with culinary skills

She was born in Ehime prefecture and raised in Chiba prefecture. She majored in food science in college since she wanted to work in food production, but after graduation she went on to work as a civil servant for a period of time. However, she says that, "I wanted to be in a job that involved making food," so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to that dream when she turned 30. She studied Japanese cuisine at Ecole Tsuji Tokyo for a year, and after that she learned the basics of cooking at Matsushita in Waseda, and studied sake (Japanese rice wine) at Sasagin in Yoyogi-Uehara. She underwent further training at Ishii in Shimbashi, and then in 2010 she opened Ohama in Asagaya, which moved to Kamakura in 2014.

The Chef's Recommendations

Upholding the name of the famous Futagoyama restaurant after 23 years in service, in a new independent venue.

Born on December 19th, 1958, in Hokkaido, this chef received his first kitchen knife as a child and never put it down. After initial training in sushi restaurants and other kitchens, he then proceeded to serve for 23 years as the chef of the famous Futagoyama restaurant, established more than 40 years ago. When Futagoyama shut down, he decided to continue the tradition by opening his own restaurant, Futayama Shoji, in October 2008. As fishing is his favorite hobby, his menus include his personal catches, as well as wild vegetables in the spring and handpicked mushrooms in the fall. Continuing in the footsteps of a long-tradition, he strives to bring the very best out of his ingredients.

His family ran a yakiniku restaurant, so it was natural for him to go into the same business after graduating from high school.

Born on June 16, 1987 in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. As his parents ran a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant, he had an interest in yakiniku restaurants from a young age. After graduating high school, one thing lead to another, and he trained for 5 years at the famous Fukuoka restaurant, Daitoen.

阿部 友彦ABE TOMOHIRO

The Chef's Recommendations

From Italian food to yakitori, he closed his own shop to train at a famous restaurant

He was born in Niigata prefecture in 1984. After graduating from culinary school, he began his culinary career as a chef at "Kihachi". When he was just 23 years old, he opened an Italian dining restaurant in Akabane, but a turning point suddenly reached him. While he was casually imagining his future, what surfaced clearly in his head was, as he says, "The image of a yakitori (grilled chicken) craftsman standing diligently in front of a small grill." He worked as an apprentice at "Torishiki" when he was 28. After about a year and a half years of training, he opened "gallus" in June 2013 and has been in charge of it since then.

The Chef's Recommendations

Shouldering the history of Japanese cooking and inheriting the legacy of first-class chefs.

Born in Tokyo in 1956. His grandfather worked as a first generation chef at Hoshigaoka, presided over by the famed artist Rosanjin Kitaoji, and in 1931 established Kappo Nakajima in Ginza. His father opened the independently-affiliated Shinjuku Kappo Nakajima, and Mr. Nakajima himself joined the shop in 1980 after training in Kyoto. Succeeding the culinary philosophy of his father, his grandfather and Rosanjin, he stands upon the fundamental traditions of Kansai (western Japanese) traditional cooking, all while exercising creativity in the development of new dishes. With his passion for food education, he has also taken on other roles such as the president of the Chojin ("superman") Chef's Club and is active across many fields.

An encounter with subtle yet profoundly complex Japanese cuisine

His fascination with the delicate yet complex flavors of the Japanese cuisine he encountered during his part-time job at a Japanese restaurant led him down the path to becoming a chef. He studied pure, authentic Japanese cuisine before coming to work with us. Our establishment serves not only okonomiyaki and monjayaki (savory pancakes with fillings), but also full course meals that bring genuine Japanese cuisine to life. He cooks each day with the belief that he should pour his all into every meal he makes.

The Chef's Recommendations

If I were to have a restaurant I'd have a sushi restaurant

Always in love with sushi, the owner desired to have a sushi restaurant of his own. His dream came true at age 30, setting up his own restaurant after going through much painful training. Bringing in fresh ingredients from fatty tuna from Shakotan, Hokkaido, to conger eel from Uchiurawan, the chef is especially picky when it comes to choosing ingredients, going as far as Kyushu depending on the ingredients.

今井良和Yoshikazu Imai

The Chef's Recommendations

Japanese cuisine - the more you know, the deeper you find it. He researches daily in search of its quintessence.

He was born in Chiba prefecture in 1972. He entered the culinary world when he was 19, and polished his skills at places such as an old, well-established inn at Hakone, and luxurious, traditional Japanese restaurants in Tokyo. After that, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Japanese cuisine and put 20 years of experience under his belt before setting out on his own. When he was younger, he thought, "Knife skills are like sports. I will become proficient according to how much effort I spend practicing them," but he says that as he gained more experience, he hit upon a new realization of the profundity of Japanese cuisine. Now, the driving force behind Mr. Imai's dishes is precisely his humble approach, as he says, "Even now, I'm learning new things every day."

Aiming for a new, loved flavor in his native Hakata

He's loved eating since the beginning, and, a few years into being a cook after collecting experience in western and Italian restaurants, he had a fateful meeting with a certain bowl of ramen. From there, his course was decided. Returning to his native Hakata, he succeeded in developing through repeated trial and error a hitherto-untasted brand new flavor. Since then, he's earned the affection of many customers, and not just locals at that.
