山田 弘YAMADA HIROSHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
If I were to have a restaurant I'd have a sushi restaurant
Always in love with sushi, the owner desired to have a sushi restaurant of his own. His dream came true at age 30, setting up his own restaurant after going through much painful training. Bringing in fresh ingredients from fatty tuna from Shakotan, Hokkaido, to conger eel from Uchiurawan, the chef is especially picky when it comes to choosing ingredients, going as far as Kyushu depending on the ingredients.

阿部 友彦ABE TOMOHIRO
The Chef's Recommendations -
From Italian food to yakitori, he closed his own shop to train at a famous restaurant
He was born in Niigata prefecture in 1984. After graduating from culinary school, he began his culinary career as a chef at "Kihachi". When he was just 23 years old, he opened an Italian dining restaurant in Akabane, but a turning point suddenly reached him. While he was casually imagining his future, what surfaced clearly in his head was, as he says, "The image of a yakitori (grilled chicken) craftsman standing diligently in front of a small grill." He worked as an apprentice at "Torishiki" when he was 28. After about a year and a half years of training, he opened "gallus" in June 2013 and has been in charge of it since then.

油井 隆一YUI RYUICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
A Renowned Chef, Whose Career Began With Western Food
Mr. Yui was born in 1942 and grew up in Tokyo. Because he was acquainted with French food from a young age due to his mother's influence and also because he is left-handed, which is unusual for a sushi chef, his professional cooking career started with Western food at "Tokyo Kaikan." After completing his training, Mr. Yui returned to his birthplace and parents' home, "Kizushi" in Tokyo's Ningyocho, where he started from the lower ranks, acquiring the skills to become a sushi chef. Supplementing the traditions of Edo-style sushi with his skills in Western cuisine, Chef Yui is a leader in Tokyo's culinary scene.

The chef strives everyday to make his restaurant an energizing place for his customers.
Born in1971, in Yamanashi prefecture, the chef has always loved cooking since his childhood. With his experience working at a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant, he came to think, "If I were to have a job for life, I'd like to become a chef who makes people happy." As he was especially charmed with yakiniku, which seemed to invigorate people, he decided to work at a yakiniku restaurant in Yokohama when he was 20. After that, he opened up his own restaurant, Yakiniku Himawari Tei. He makes his own tare (sauce) and kimchi (pickled cabbage), and provides delicious meat for a reasonable price.

The parttime job he had in university paved the way to where he is today
Takashi Yamada was born in Hokkaido on the 19th of June, 1948. The part-time job he held at a sushi restaurant whilst he was at university was the spur that drove him into the culinary world. When his part-time job finished, he simply went on to become a full-time employee there. He performed a great deal of training and learned about cooking as a sushi chef. In 1975, he became the manager of the restaurant and began to look after the administrative side as well. In 1981, he went independent and opened Sohonke Yamako, where he currently spends every day displaying his proficient culinary talent. He is an expert of Japanese cuisine who lets the flavours of the ingredients speak for themselves, which is loved by customers of all ages.
