甲斐Kai

Using the high expectations and hopes of those around him as a source of motivation, he forges his own path

He was born in Oita Prefecture in 1970. His parents ran a “fugu (blowfish) restaurant and Japanese restaurant” and he grew up in a family of dyed-in-the-wool chefs. As he was raised in constant contact with the culinary world and delicious food from early on, he was naturally aware of the fact that he too would become a chef. After graduating from university, he studied mainly fugu and Japanese dishes, then, in his 30s, sought to make a further leap in his development and gave Western cuisine a try. His insatiably curious mind, which did not stop at Japanese cuisine, continues to create new and spirited dishes.

Offering the finest quality Japanese beef at a reasonable price.

His motto is to offer customers more satisfying dishes than their price, so he carefully trims and prepares each cut of beef to maximize its flavor.
