Making a career out of my favorite dish

井上 靖久INOUE YASUHISA
The Chef's Recommendations -
Enjoy authentic, hotel-grade Chinese food at this street side venue.
Born on March 25, 1960, in Kyoto Prefecture. Influenced by parents, who were both true gastronomes, he developed a keen interest in cooking, especially Chinese food, from a very early age. In 1980, he began what would become a 7 year training at restaurant Dunhuang in Yamaguchi Prefecture. He was also deeply impressed by the passionate approach of Chef Kazuo Uchida, his senior at the Hotel New Otani in Osaka (currently serving as chef at the ANA Hotel in Kyoto), which further deepened his commitment to the culinary arts. His downtown restaurant's creed is to make luxury hotel-grade Chinese cuisine easily accessible to all.

With steam and speed, this chef offers up Chinese Taiwan cuisine.
I was born in June, 1983 in the city of Hakodate in Hokkaido Prefecture. I was influenced by my father, who ran an Izakaya, and so after I graduated from high school, I decided to learn the ropes of the service industry at a local Japanese-style restaurant. I entered the world of Chinese Taiwan cuisine in 2009 when I started working at Chinese Taiwan Restaurant Misen, thanks to a family connection. I learned by watching Sho, a veteran who showed me how to utilize steam and speed, a style of cooking which is very different from Japanese-style cuisine. It was a period of diligent training for me and I spent my days polishing my skills in the kitchen.

Learning the joy of cooking from a Chinese chef, and its depth from a Japanese master.
Born in 1973 in Chiba Prefecture, his inspiration for pursuing this path was a Chinese chef who showed him the joy of cooking at the restaurant where he worked part-time as a high school freshman. He later became the apprentice of a Japanese chef while working at another restaurant. Although the chef was a well-rounded master who had studied abroad, he still said "Nothing beats Japanese beef." Those words made a deep impression on Mr. Ogura.

A veteran shop loved by the locals for many years. The unchanged taste of the yakitori goes to show they are particular about good flavor.
There was a time when I walked around and ate at all the yakitori shops in the city, tells Mr. Shigeyama. His love for yakitori lead him to open his "Yakitori House Nonchan" in 1984. You can take the finest quality ingredients for granted, and every skewer is carefully prepared by hand in-house. There is no end to the regulars who make their way in for a taste of Mr. Shigeyama's carefully crafted yakitori.
