From the chef

Mr. Yabuzaki brings smiles to many people's faces with "Chinese cuisine that heals the body and soul."

Mr. Yabuzaki was born in 1973 in Shizuoka. Learning to cook from his father, who ran a diner, he graduated from high school, majoring in food science. He began training at the famous Cantonese restaurant "Saikou Shinkan" in Yokohama Chinatown. During late nights, he honed his skills by working in multiple establishments, including a kappo (Japanese-style cooking) restaurant, izakaya (Japanese-style pub), bar, and Chinese restaurant. In 1998, at 26, he became the head chef of the Saikou Grande Duo Tachikawa branch, making him the youngest chef in the group's history. He left the company in 2007, established Minamiaoyama Essence, and became the owner-chef in 2008. Serves as the chairperson of "NPO All Nippon Yakuzen (Chineae medicinal cooking) Association."

Mitsukoshimae, Tokyo

Japanese / Japanese

The Reasons Why I Recommend.

[Izumoya] in Nihonbashi, Tokyo is a delicious eel shop. The sukiya-style building, built immediately after the war, has a nostalgic atmosphere, where you can enjoy relaxing and delicious eels. Not to mention the standard menus such as “Kotoyaki”, “Umaki”, “Shiroyaki”, and “Raw Soy Sauce”, my most recommended dish is “Izumo Yaki”, which is grilled eel with fish sauce made with eel. It is exquisite.
