大林禎OBAYASHITEI

An Encounter with the Master of a LongStanding Sake Shop, a Journey to Discover the Choicest Sake

Born in 1955 in Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 18 he bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo and began his live-in training to be a chef. He opened "Kushikoma", which was originally just a normal izakaya (Japanese-style bar), at around 25 years of age. After that, he discovered a new-born love of sake (Japanese rice wine) upon meeting Mr. Mitsuhisa Kodama of the legendary "Koshuya" bar in Ikebukuro. The foundations were then laid for the present incarnation of "Kushikoma", which he realized through subsequent pilgrimages to breweries all over Japan to gather up the very best sake.

阿部 友彦ABE TOMOHIRO

The Chef's Recommendations

From Italian food to yakitori, he closed his own shop to train at a famous restaurant

He was born in Niigata prefecture in 1984. After graduating from culinary school, he began his culinary career as a chef at "Kihachi". When he was just 23 years old, he opened an Italian dining restaurant in Akabane, but a turning point suddenly reached him. While he was casually imagining his future, what surfaced clearly in his head was, as he says, "The image of a yakitori (grilled chicken) craftsman standing diligently in front of a small grill." He worked as an apprentice at "Torishiki" when he was 28. After about a year and a half years of training, he opened "gallus" in June 2013 and has been in charge of it since then.

Shouldering the history of Japanese cooking and inheriting the legacy of first-class chefs.

Born in Tokyo in 1956. His grandfather worked as a first generation chef at Hoshigaoka, presided over by the famed artist Rosanjin Kitaoji, and in 1931 established Kappo Nakajima in Ginza.

The Chef's Recommendations

Switched from Being a Chef Specializing in Japanese Cuisine to a Sake Professional

While he was originally trained as a chef specializing in Japanese cuisine, his eyes were opened to Japanese sake as well when he tried sake named Tatsuriki at a neighborhood sake shop.

At first, he was a constant customer of [Washubar Kuri], and later he was employed at its sister shop in Shinbashi. He has been manager of [Washubar Kuri] since October 2012 where he is both a sake sommelier and chef.

紫藤 喜則SHITO YOSHINORI

The Chef's Recommendations

His feelings toward cuisine changing from an encounter with natural wines

Born 1975 and coming from Saitama, he began on the road of the chef at 24 and that of French cuisine at 28. Coming in contact with the charms of vin naturel at Le Cabaret in Yoyogi-Uehara, he found himself committed to natural wines. After training further at restaurants like the famed L'amitie in Takadanobaba, he opened Libertin in 2011. With the development of his career as chef and his knowledge of light natural wines, his feelings of something not additive but subtractive grow stronger, and his cookery transforms further into a simpler cuisine that better brings out the life of the ingredients.
