江村 謙Ken Emura
The Chef's Recommendations -
His journey towards becoming a yakitori (grilled chicken) artisan began when he helped out at his uncle's restaurant.
Born in Tokyo in 1964, Me. Mr. Emura began a career working at a company but was invited to help out at the izakaya (Japanese style pub) that his uncle runs, which is where he learned to grill chicken. At a time, the izakaya was so popular that they grilled 400 skewers of yakitori per day. However, it was forced to close due to the building's deterioration. At that point, Mr. Emura received an offer from culinary researcher Ms. Yukiko Hirano, who was an acquaintance of his. He opened "76Vin" in 2012, with her producing the food and the restaurant space.
