井原　和武IHARA KAZUTAKE

Quality ingredients are essential for soba. A soba artisan who ignores profit in order to serve up delicious soba

He was born in 1967 in Ehime Prefecture. The family's soba restaurant had been founded by his father. Growing up watching his father at work, he knew as a young child that he wanted to succeed his father at the restaurant. In order to hone his skills, he left home for years to train at renowned soba restaurants in Chiba Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, and at Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture. He then returned home to take over "Hagi no Chaya". Using only the finest ingredients to serve up the best soba, he pays no attention to profit-a true soba artisan.

浜田　圭二HAMADA KEIJI

An encounter with subtle yet profoundly complex Japanese cuisine

His fascination with the delicate yet complex flavors of the Japanese cuisine he encountered during his part-time job at a Japanese restaurant led him down the path to becoming a chef. He studied pure, authentic Japanese cuisine before coming to work with us. Our establishment serves not only okonomiyaki and monjayaki (savory pancakes with fillings), but also full course meals that bring genuine Japanese cuisine to life. He cooks each day with the belief that he should pour his all into every meal he makes.

斎藤章二SAITO SHOJI

The Chef's Recommendations

Upholding the name of the famous Futagoyama restaurant after 23 years in service, in a new independent venue.

Born on December 19th, 1958, in Hokkaido, this chef received his first kitchen knife as a child and never put it down. After initial training in sushi restaurants and other kitchens, he then proceeded to serve for 23 years as the chef of the famous Futagoyama restaurant, established more than 40 years ago. When Futagoyama shut down, he decided to continue the tradition by opening his own restaurant, Futayama Shoji, in October 2008. As fishing is his favorite hobby, his menus include his personal catches, as well as wild vegetables in the spring and handpicked mushrooms in the fall. Continuing in the footsteps of a long-tradition, he strives to bring the very best out of his ingredients.
