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.
