紫藤 喜則SHITO YOSHINORI

The Chef's Recommendations

His feelings toward cuisine changing from an encounter with natural wines

Born 1975 and coming from Saitama, he began on the road of the chef at 24 and that of French cuisine at 28. Coming in contact with the charms of vin naturel at Le Cabaret in Yoyogi-Uehara, he found himself committed to natural wines. After training further at restaurants like the famed L'amitie in Takadanobaba, he opened Libertin in 2011. With the development of his career as chef and his knowledge of light natural wines, his feelings of something not additive but subtractive grow stronger, and his cookery transforms further into a simpler cuisine that better brings out the life of the ingredients.

Aiming for a new, loved flavor in his native Hakata

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.

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.

紺野 真KONNO MAKOTO

The Chef's Recommendations

The encounter with natural wine greatly influenced his restaurant's core principles after setting out on his own

He was born in Tokyo in 1969. He went to America during his schooling days, and an experience at a part-time job in a restaurant gave him the motivation to enter this industry. He returned to Japan when he was 29, and pursued further training at a cafe in Harajuku, and the bistro "Au Rendez-Vous" in Chitose-Funabashi. During his training, he encountered natural wine and found himself spellbound by its great flavor. He set out on his own in 2005 and opened "uguisu" in Sangenjaya. In 2011, he opened his second shop, "organ", as its owner.
