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.

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.

In the restaurant business for nearly 30 years. Now a chef who captivates many
When he was a student, Koichi Ryu began working in a restaurant without much serious thought. But he was so taken by the head chef there that he started on the culinary path at the age of 18. At one point, he almost threw in the towel but there was no way he could completely give up on the culinary world. It's been thirty years now since he first chose this career. After working at Hakata Saryo, Fugu Taisho, Moyai (small restaurant), and various other restaurants, Mr. Ryu is now the owner of Ryuichi in Zashonokuma.

Depth that even a connoisseur can taste.
Wanting to use my hands to make a living, I entered the food industry because of my interest in cuisine. With over 20 years since we opened Rikyu, you'll soon find out why connoisseurs say, "When it comes to grilled beef tongue, one seeks the modest sensitivity that's a product of a single coal in the fire. The flavorful depth of each ingredient can change with the chef."

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". It's now been over 15 years since the restaurant opened, and he's still doing his best to make sure his customers are happy day after day.

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.

A promising young chef who polished his skills under the guidance of one of the masters of creative Japanese cooking, Rokusaburo Michiba.
The son of the owner of a Japanese restaurant named 'Ampuku', he grew up with an intimate connection to food and a fascination for cooking. He took his first step on the culinary road at the age of 19, when he joined a 'kaiseki' banquet restaurant in Gifu as a chef, and later refined his skills further at Poisson Rokusaburo in Tokyo's Akasaka. He was also involved in planning the launch of the New York branch of the restaurant 'Ninja' during his time as a trainee chef. He developed a reputation for creating dishes which are subtle and elegant, yet stick unfalteringly to their principles. After returning to Japan, deciding that he wanted "to open an affordable restaurant for ordinary people, just like my father"; he opened his own 'udon' noodle restaurant, the 'Ampuku' which he still runs to this day.

Encountering genuine motsunabe (meat stew) in Osaka led to him opening his own restaurant
I'm originally from Ichinomiya City. After stepping away from the 9-to-5 life of a businessman, I entered cooking school. After that, I apprenticed at a Chinese restaurant and worked at a gyoza (dumpling) shop in Osaka for even more training. When a famous motsunabe (meat stew) restaurant from Fukuoka opened a branch in Osaka, I seized the opportunity to work there and trained for a year and a half, and in 2007 split off and opened a restaurant in Nagoya.

川野名 順KAWANONA JUN
-
From being raised by a fishmonger, to creating a place to eat delicious fish.
Kawanona was born in Takikawa, Hokkaido in 1969. His family home was a fish shop, so he has a long history of handling fish. At the age of thirty he started training at a Japanese restaurant in Sapporo. However, he had already decided on what he wanted to do, so three years later he opened the current restaurant, which takes the form of an extension on his family home. Everyday he spiritedly wields his knife, hoping to make this restaurant a place where food lovers gather.
