上野 純平Junpei Ueno
-
Longing for a job as a "craftsman" who spends a lifetime pursuing one's technique.
Mr. Ueno was born in 1976 in Niigata. After 13 years of apprenticeship at a sushi restaurant in Setagaya, he opened his sushi restaurant, Sushi Gotoku, in Shibuya Kamiyama-cho. On its 10th anniversary, it relocated to its current location in the same Kamiyama-cho. He wanted to offer not only sushi but also a course menu with various dishes to enjoy, so he experienced various cuisines at other sushi restaurants, Japanese cuisine, and French cuisine for three months before opening the restaurant. Since the restaurant opened in 2007, he has attracted many customers by serving sushi and dishes such as terrine and mousse, a fusion of Japanese and French cuisine, matched with both sake and wine in the course.

江部 惠一Keiichi Ebe
The Chef's Recommendations -
The chef is the head of a cook agency, but he is leading other chefs with his excellent skills, not by his lineage.
Born in Tokyo in 1959. He studied in the Faculty of Law at a university. After some hesitation about his future, at the age of 23 he decided to enter Noda Cook Agency which is his family business. He noticed that many people started a training as teenagers, and therefore not all the people surrounding him welcomed him. However, he self-imposed to enhance skills, and did it very quickly. Finally everybody acknowledged him as the head of the restaurant. In 2015 he got a laryngeal cancer, but revived. Currently, he is in charge of grilled dishes with the motto of [never retire till the death].
