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.
