他力野 慶太Keita Tarikino

Challenging the Shuhari (follow the rules, break the rules, transcend the rules) of Japanese cuisine, Mr. Tarikino fascinates guests with various "freshly prepared" dishes that embrace the seasons.
He was born in 1974 in Nagasaki. Attracted by the way a chef finishes skewers behind the counter at a yakitori restaurant in his hometown, he decided to pursue a career in the culinary field. After training at kappou and Japanese restaurants in Nagasaki City, he studied at a Japanese restaurant in Yokohama City. Then, he got to work with the Ukai Group and became the head chef at kappou ukai in Ginza Roppongi. As the culmination of his efforts, he founded his current restaurant in July 2022 and became independent. Serving dishes at the counter, which is his starting point, he serves " freshly prepared" dishes with creative and unique arrangements.

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.
