井村 武広Takehiro Imura
The Chef's Recommendations -
The vision of his father standing in the kitchen inspired him to be chef.
Chef Imura was born on January 10th, 1982 in Kumamoto Prefecture. He grew up watching his father cook at the ryokan (Japanese style inn) that was also his childhood home. That scene which he observed from early on became like a guidebook for his own journey to becoming a chef. He started training to make his interest in cooking a professional reality. He began his career working at a traditional Japanese restaurant in the city, and then moved on to a ryokan in Aso. To further devote himself to training, he worked at another ryokan in Kyoto. In 2014, he returned to his hometown of Kumamoto and opened Koshitsu Dining Kakehashi Higashi Bypass Honten, where he acts as chef-owner.

He opened the restaurant to introduce cured beef ham that shocked him a lot when he tried for the first time.
He was born in Yamagata city. Meat was familiar for him since he was very young, as his father was running a meat company. In order to offer tasty beef cuisine, and to introduce tasty cured beef ham to many people, he went independent and opened the restaurant after running a company with his father who has an excellent eye for selecting meat and 40 years of experience. His recommended way to taste meat is with BBQ dipping sauce, using garlic from Yamagata prefecture matured for more than half a year, without sugar, understanding the natural sweetness of the meat.

T・ヨッコT. Yokko
The Chef's Recommendations -
There are reasons why you are as healthy as you are.
This is the idea that the food that is put into their body will have the greatest effect on the lifestyle of a person over a long period of time--from when they are a baby until when they reach adulthood. An environment where cooking is close to her has been with her for as long as she can remember. And thankfully, she says, she was very healthy. Her unchanging desire is to pass on things that she has received.

Bringing smiles to customers by insisting on "speciality" rank quality Matsusaka beef.
Born in 1974 in Toyama prefecture. While he originally worked in a completely seperate industry, he joined the staff at "Ittetsu Takaokahonten" due to a love of yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) and now manages the restaurant. The restuarant only uses "Matsusaka beef." He insists on serving the "speciality" rank, which allows one to enjoy the pure umami (pleasant savory taste) of the red meat itself, something that one cannot do when eating a shimofuri (high-quality marbled) cut. This carefully selected "Matsusaka beef" is always cut and served in the best way that will delight all customers.
