今井良和Yoshikazu Imai

The Chef's Recommendations

Japanese cuisine - the more you know, the deeper you find it. He researches daily in search of its quintessence.

He was born in Chiba prefecture in 1972. He entered the culinary world when he was 19, and polished his skills at places such as an old, well-established inn at Hakone, and luxurious, traditional Japanese restaurants in Tokyo. After that, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Japanese cuisine and put 20 years of experience under his belt before setting out on his own. When he was younger, he thought, "Knife skills are like sports. I will become proficient according to how much effort I spend practicing them," but he says that as he gained more experience, he hit upon a new realization of the profundity of Japanese cuisine. Now, the driving force behind Mr. Imai's dishes is precisely his humble approach, as he says, "Even now, I'm learning new things every day."

The Chef's Recommendations

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

He was born in Oita, Japan in 1975. 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. He took a license of sake sommelier, and his frequent interactions with sake brewers resulted in an obsession with sake. 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.

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.
