佐藤 光朗Mitsuo Sato
The Chef's Recommendations -
Making proper efforts to pursue a deliciousness hidden in the traditional dish.
Born in 1980 in Tokyo, he raised up watching his father who ran a pork cutlet restaurant. It was natural for him to help his father before going to school in his days as a student. After graduating from a university, he started working at [Sugita] to succeed his family business, then became the 2nd generation in 2011. He is modest to say that his restaurant is a small bistro in this town but still making efforts every day to be better than any other restaurant, and wishing the guests to say [though pork cutlet is a casual food, his dish is special].

Mr. Masahiro Ito (commonly known as Ma-kun) is a highly skilled fixed-net fisherman in Kushiura, Karatsu.

He is a unique pole-and-line fisherman - while working as a chef, he was awakened to the charms of the fishing industry and moved to Kushiura. They are thoroughly pursuing techniques for maintaining freshness and improving taste, such as destroying the fish's spinal cord, removing its stomach, and controlling blood removal as to the species and condition of the fish. Both of them are now indispensable fishermen for the restaurant group, supplying fish daily.
