紺野　真KONNO MAKOTO

The Chef's Recommendations

The encounter with natural wine greatly influenced his restaurant's core principles after setting out on his own

He was born in Tokyo in 1969. He went to America during his schooling days, and an experience at a part-time job in a restaurant gave him the motivation to enter this industry. He returned to Japan when he was 29, and pursued further training at a cafe in Harajuku, and the bistro "Au Rendez-Vous" in Chitose-Funabashi. During his training, he encountered natural wine and found himself spellbound by its great flavor. He set out on his own in 2005 and opened "uguisu" in Sangenjaya. In 2011, he opened his second shop, "organ", as its owner.

竹内　徹平TAKEUCHI TEPPEI

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.
