季 慶浩RI KYONHO
-
His family ran a yakiniku restaurant, so it was natural for him to go into the same business after graduating from high school.
Born on June 16, 1987 in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. As his parents ran a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant, he had an interest in yakiniku restaurants from a young age. After graduating high school, one thing lead to another, and he trained for 5 years at the famous Fukuoka restaurant, Daitoen. During that time, he met the manager of Kanteki, and they decided to work together. After working at the flagship restaurant in Kobe, they opened the Shibuya branch on April 11, 2012 and he became manager.

竹内 徹平TAKEUCHI TEPPEI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Switched from Being a Chef Specializing in Japanese Cuisine to a Sake Professional
He was born in Oita, Japan in 1975. While he was originally trained as a chef specializing in Japanese cuisine, his eyes were opened to Japanese sake as well when he tried sake named Tatsuriki at a neighborhood sake shop. He took a license of sake sommelier, and his frequent interactions with sake brewers resulted in an obsession with sake. At first, he was a constant customer of [Washubar Kuri], and later he was employed at its sister shop in Shinbashi. He has been manager of [Washubar Kuri] since October 2012 where he is both a sake sommelier and chef.
