Demonstrating the knowledge and techniques built up over three generations
Mr. Yakou's grandfather was a maker of tempura who opened an establishment in Ginza named "Naruto", this name being linked to his birthplace, Awaji Island. His father, Yoshio Yakou, struck out on his own, leaving "Naruto" and establishing in 1962 his own restaurant named "Akashi". This name was a reference to being on the opposite side of the Naruto Strait. Having grown up watching this family, Mr. Yakou felt he wanted to become a chef, so he trained with his father to develop his skills. He has reached such a high level of mastery in the preparation of pufferfish that he currently serves as an examiner for the licensing of pufferfish chefs.

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".

A diehard chef, straight along this road from his middleschool longing
Born August 19, 1968, in Yokosuka, Kanazawa, during his middle school days he always gazed upon the neighborhood Chinese restaurant, impressed with the smells and the sounds he heard from its kitchen. He was inspired when a person from the restaurant noticed this and made him fried rice. While working as a part-timer at that restaurant, learning many things from the owner, he started on the chef's path. He built up experience at many different Chinese restaurants, most notable The Westin Tokyo's Ryutemmon. He has been working at China Room since 2003.

After finishing school in China, I started working at a restaurant.
From the age of 20, I trained at Chinese restaurants and worked for 20 years in China. At the time it was tough, but I started with the fundamentals of Chinese cuisine. After this, I came to Japan and worked at a restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown where I offered up Chinese food to Japanese customers. In 2012, I achieved my dream of opening my own restaurant, Kokien, right here in Yokohama Chinatown. I would love for you to come and try my authentic Chinese dishes.

He's been coming home to the shop where his parents cooked at since he was young.

The more he learned about cooking, the more it appealed to him. He studied hard and steadily began taking on new challenges. In lieu of training elsewhere, he adopted the attitude of always challenging himself to continually learn. Continuing to preserve the flavors created by his parents while adding his own style, he works on creating new flavors he can be proud from here on into the future.

He started in the world of yakiniku (grilled meat) through a meeting with a friend
Chef Fujimoto, from Yokohama City, is a long serving veteran-this year is his 37th. He found employment in the yakiniku business partially through the invitation of a friend. He has devoted himself to this business ever since. Although he temporarily left Yakiniku Restaurant Konandai Kannaien, this year will mark about 13 years since his return. With yakiniku, it is hard to choose ingredients because the taste of the ingredients directly comes through. Also, everyone has different preferences, so it is extremely difficult to flavor things that suit everyone. Successfully facing this difficulty, he is building a thriving restaurant.
