高瀬 健一TAKASE KENICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Our chef adds a stylish presentation to Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine
Our chef was born in May 1965 and is a native of Miyagi Prefecture's Sendai City. His interest in cooking started around the age of 20. On a visit to Hong Kong at the age of 24, the flavors of the authentic dishes he experienced there impressed him so profoundly that afterwards he sought out Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine. He moved to Tokyo at 29 and, after training mainly at hotel restaurants, including the Tokyo and Maihama Sheraton Hotels, he participated in the opening of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Tokyo. Three years later, he achieved his first one-star Michelin rating and, after another four years, he opened Cantonese "Tsubame" KEN TAKASE.

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."

He's loved eating since early childhood! He dreamed of having his own restaurant.
When he was young, owner Hisayoshi Sugawara's favourite foods were ramen and curry rice. With the spirit of a child, he dreamed of owning his own restaurant. Since it was his favourite food, Hisayoshi was determined to make the ultimate bowl of ramen himself. Trying the ramen at various restaurants, he made continual improvements until settling on the present taste. That's the taste you can enjoy today.

服部 公一HATTORI KOICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
The traditional homemade food that he finally reached after traveling all over Spain.
He was born in Tokyo in 1979. He found employment for a period after graduating from college, but resolved to aim to become a chef. With just the clothes on his back, he went to Spain and perfected his skills over five and a half years in a total of eleven restaurants, from bars on the street to famous modern Spanish restaurants. He was particularly surprised by the homemade food that he encountered in the rural community of Catalonia. This surprise carried over to "Amets", which he opened soon after returning to Japan. He admired wild game so much that he obtained a hunting license by himself, and he is distinctly characterized by his speedy actions, as he says, "Once I think about it, I do it immediately."

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.

Aiming for a new, loved flavor in his native Hakata
He's loved eating since the beginning, and, a few years into being a cook after collecting experience in western and Italian restaurants, he had a fateful meeting with a certain bowl of ramen. From there, his course was decided. Returning to his native Hakata, he succeeded in developing through repeated trial and error a hitherto-untasted brand new flavor. Since then, he's earned the affection of many customers, and not just locals at that.

Our spirited chef started with a yearning for beautiful, delicious food
He was born in 1975 in Muromachi, Kyoto. His grandfather was a craftsman who painted ceramics in the Yuzen style, and he says, "He'd often take me to restaurants and art galleries when I was young."

His motto is to be open and welcoming, and he serves his guests with a friendy smile and candid voice.
