Mr. Onyama is passionate about caring for people, making his dream possible, and protecting and sustaining it.
He was born in 1951 in Chiba. In 1983, he opened the Teppanyaki specialty restaurant, Devant des P.T.T., in front of the former Defense Agency.

Mr. Onoda's interest in food began at an early age and led him to become a chef.
