This young, 3rd-generation chef is polishing his skills under the watchful eyes of predecessor who is his teacher and his goal at the same time.
He was born in Tokyo in 1986. After graduating from high school and working in a different industry, he decided at the age 20 of that he was going to take over the family business, [Kawaei], someday.

While preserving the techniques passed down from his grandfather, he also takes a flexible approach to the changing era. In this way, he is aiming to establish a new style for the restaurant.
