He decided to become a chef the first time he tried sushi, and now he strives to move people with his meals as profoundly as he was.
He was born in 1958 in Hokkaido. When he was in elementary school his father took him to a sushi shop, where he was deeply moved: "I never knew anything in the whole world could taste that good!". From that experience he endeavored to become a chef in the years following. He trained at four different sushi restaurants in Tokyo before coming to work for us at "Sushi Zen." His wish is for as many people as possible to experience the delicious, wonderful flavor of sushi, while spending their valuable time enjoying satisfying and exceptional service.

望月 英雄MOCHIZUKI HIDEO
The Chef's Recommendations -
He chose a culinary career, which is the same as his father's, when he gave up his baseball career.
He was born in Hadano city, Kanagawa on November 11th, 1979. His father owned a local shabu-shabu (hot pot) and steak restaurant called "Tagetsu". He was extremely involved in playing baseball in his childhood, so he was not really planning to suceed his father, but he decided to go down the path of cooking upon experiencing pain in his elbows. After graduating from high school, he left for Tokyo and trained in Japanese cuisine at "Ryuun-an" and "Genyadana Hamadaya" in Shinjuku, as well as "Kappo Kisaku" in Azabu-Juban. In August 2013, he opened "Japanese Restaurant Tagetsu", taking the same name as the restaurant that his father had closed.

石塚 英明ISHIZUKA HIDEAKI
-
His lifework is maintaining and developing the restaurant's recipes that has been handed down for a long time.
He was born in Tokyo in 1944. His father ran a casual restaurant in Nihonbashi, and he set his sights on becoming a chef ever since he was little, as he says, "In the past, taking over the family business was a given, so I never thought about any other paths." At the age of 20, he firstly trained at a Japanese restaurant. After thoroughly learning the basics of Japanese cuisine and how to pick fresh fish from the market, he joined "Tonkatsu Yachiyo", where his father handled the kitchen. Until now, for nearly 50 years since that day, he has been wholeheartedly studying about how to fry the best ingredients into delicious dishes.

小高 孝之ODAKA TAKAYUKI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Four generations of soba chefs from his family have run this restaurant.
Born in 1965, in Tokyo. By the time he was a junior high school student he had already decided to become a soba chef, and after graduating from college he started training at Kanda Matsuya. Along with his father, the other senior members of staff taught him soba making techniques and how the shop was run. It would take ten years of work before he was able to do everything. As a soba chef, and a man inheriting the restaurant from the generations before him, he has the flexibility to ensure that the traditional taste and style of Kanda Matsuya is maintained, while also looking towards new things.

He has transformed an ordinary old sushi shop in the town into a high-end one, popular among overseas guests.
He was born in 1977 in Fukuoka prefecture. He wanted to be a French chef when he was very young but entered the field of Japanese cuisine after graduating from a university. After three years of training, he joined [Teruzushi] run by his father to work as a sales staff, then became a chef of which they were shorthanded. In 2013, he became the third generation of [Teruzushi] and started its innovation. He upgraded the seafood quality and raised the prices. The restaurant became in a slump at first, but he did not change his beliefs and kept using the highest-grade ingredients, which has transformed this ordinary town sushi shop with more than 50 years of history, into a famous sushi restaurant even among guests from overseas.

藤原 崇史FUJIWARA TAKASHI
-
The parttime job that he had at an izakaya when he was a high school student inspired him to become a chef.
The reason why he decided to get a part-time job in an izakaya (Japanese pub restaurant) was that he wanted to eat the free food. It may not have been the most romantic reason, but this is what led to his career in the restaurant business. Through his part-time job he learned how much fun cooking was, and decided to attend catering college. At college he met fellow students who would play an important part in shaping his future career. After graduating, he spent time working in three different Japanese restaurants. After working for ten years, he and his friends from college opened "Jounetsu Shokusai Kyoshoku". Later, in 2014, they opened "Fujiya Kyoshoku".
