The Chef's Recommendations

Food has been a part of his life since childhood, which led him to a career in the culinary world

He was born in 1974 in Nagasaki Prefecture. His parents had a restaurant of their own during his childhood, which meant he was able to familiarize himself with cooking and see the importance of food from a young age. He wanted a job of his own that let him make food for people and truly capture their hearts with his creations, so he jumped right in to get his career started in the world of professional cooking. He got his foot in the door by getting a job at Huis Ten Bosch resort and then from there he went on to develop his skills further at L'Hotel de Hiei and a newly opened French restaurant in Umeda, Osaka. He came on as head chef at "Restaurant KEI" when the hotel opened in 2008 and then in 2014 he moved up to work as Hotel Arc Riche Toyohashi’s executive chef.
