Born at a sushi restaurant! He has helped his family for cooking, which naturally led him to the field of cooking.
He was born in Chiba prefecture. As his parents ran a sushi restaurant, he had been interested in cooking since he was small and helped the sushi restaurant. It was therefore natural for him to enter the field of cooking. After accumulating experiences at a Japanese restaurant in Tokyo and izakaya (Japanese style pub) in Kanagawa, he also had further training at his parents' sushi restaurant. When he became 25 years old, he went to Kushiro, Hokkaido where he had been fascinated. He was more fascinated by Kushiro after being familiar with the ingredients in Hokkaido such as local fish when he was working at a sushi restaurant in Kushiro. In 2003, he moved to Chitose, Hokkaido as he especially liked the area. He is currently working actively in Chitose at a popular restaurant loved by local people.

The Chef's Recommendations -
He became interested in cooking after seeing his mother in the kitchen and soon began making things with her
He enjoyed making things from an early age and was particularly captivated by cooking. He would often cook with his mother for his whole family and it made him happy to see their smiles as they ate. After graduation, he found a job but was unable to forget the joy of cooking and the smiling faces of people eating delicious food, so he entered the restaurant industry. He searched for a place where customers' reactions could be seen and found an izakaya (Japanese bar) with an open kitchen, where he accumulated work experience. When that restaurant closed down, he became a chef at Soshu Torigin Kamonomiya, where he could interact with customers in the same way.
