佐野 大介SANO DAISUKE
-
The influence of his chef father led him down the same path
Our chef Sano was raised looking up to his chef father from the time he was a child. Seeing how delighted people were when they ate his father's food, he thought, "Someday, I want to make people happy like that with my own cooking," which led him down the same path. Afterwards he built up experience at various Italian restaurants, before opening this establishment. His memories of his father's cooking still form the foundation for Sano's own culinary style even now.

Always obsessive about fish.
Seafood direct from the Port of Heda, Numazu. Every morning we head to Numazu port to buy our stock. Normally the fishermen bring in their afternoon catch to the Port of Heda to put out at market the next day. But we go directly to buy our fish so by that evening we can serve it in our restaurant. Our customers get to experience a freshness they would normally not be able to do.

宮本 義隆MIYAMOTO YOSHITAKA
The Chef's Recommendations -
The local flavor and cooking philosophy learned at a small restaurant in northern Italy
He was born in Kanagawa prefecture in 1974. He chose to take on Italian cooking under the influence of his brother, Munetaka, who entered the culinary world before him. He underwent training at a famous restaurant in Tokyo before going to Italy in 1999. He perfected his skills there for seven years, with a focus on the northernmost region of Trentino-Alto Adige. While he was there, he ventured into choosing a small restaurant so as to personally experience life in Italy at the location itself. The skills that he learned there, together with the cooking philosophy prized in the area, also show themselves in "ICARO", which he opened with his brother after returning to Japan.

玉城 利也TAMASHIRO TOSHIYA
The Chef's Recommendations -
His own love of Okinawan soba motivated him to pursue the perfect dish
Born in Okinawa in 1985, our chef was raised on Okinawan soba and his love for it is unmatched. His fascination with the dish grew as he went from restaurant to restaurant, observing differences in flavor, until at last he decided to become a chef himself. Of particular importance to him is the balance of bonito and pork in flavoring the dashi broth. His aim is a taste that is refreshing, yet never boring, and he devotes himself wholeheartedly to that pursuit to this day.

Nothing says Sendai like gyutan (beef tongue)!
Nothing says Sendai like gyutan (beef tongue)! Interested in local ingredients, he took a job at Rikyu where he is now in charge of the grill. His motto is to take high quality ingredients and carefully grill them to perfection. "Grilling gyutan is fairly straightforward, and yet the flavor differs with each chef. I find that fascinating," Takashi remarks, as he affectionately tends the grill.
