A promising young chef who polished his skills under the guidance of one of the masters of creative Japanese cooking, Rokusaburo Michiba.
The son of the owner of a Japanese restaurant named 'Ampuku', he grew up with an intimate connection to food and a fascination for cooking. He took his first step on the culinary road at the age of 19, when he joined a 'kaiseki' banquet restaurant in Gifu as a chef, and later refined his skills further at Poisson Rokusaburo in Tokyo's Akasaka.

梅田 真志UMEDA SHINJI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Realising his father's greatness and his own culinary aspirations on leaving Hiroshima.
Shinji Umeda was born on March 17th, 1982. He learned much while working a part-time job at a restaurant. The izakaya (Japanese pub) he worked in at that time had an open kitchen, and during everything he did there, from the difficulty of conversing with customers to gaining more knowledge about cooking, he thought to himself "Dad did it like this, and at that time he spoke about this," and the image of his father's face was constantly on his mind. Shinji is currently training at his father's restaurant, studying the culinary arts so that he may one day open his own restaurant full of smiling, satisfied customers.
