末永 悦巳Etsumi Suenaga

To stay busy and to contribute something of worth - the job of chef is a sacred task

Born in Ehime Prefecture in 1970, Chef Suenaga always loved cooking, but still pictured himself working as an office woker. However, he did not give up on his dream of being a cook, and took a job working at a Western style restaurant. From there, he aimed to steadily improve and rise as a cook. Eventually, the manager of Kadoya Kasumitei generously put him in charge of the kitchen at Kadoya Toranomon. Since the restaurant opened in October 2015, he has kept busy there every day working as head chef.
