The Chef's Recommendations -
His experiences working as a salaryman and at a famous tempura restaurant come to life now
He was born in 1972 in Tokyo. He was already part of a restaurant since birth, and was brought up in the environment of Tsukiji as his playground. After graduating from college, he experienced a stint as a salaryman, but he started down the culinary path so that he could carry on his family business. He trained for about three years at a famous tempura (deep-fried food) restaurant and learned the basics of Japanese cuisine. After that, he returned to the shop and has been managing "Ankoya Takahashi" under the guidance of his father until now.

An Encounter with the Master of a LongStanding Sake Shop, a Journey to Discover the Choicest Sake
Born in 1955 in Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 18 he bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo and began his live-in training to be a chef. He opened "Kushikoma", which was originally just a normal izakaya (Japanese-style bar), at around 25 years of age. After that, he discovered a new-born love of sake (Japanese rice wine) upon meeting Mr. Mitsuhisa Kodama of the legendary "Koshuya" bar in Ikebukuro. The foundations were then laid for the present incarnation of "Kushikoma", which he realized through subsequent pilgrimages to breweries all over Japan to gather up the very best sake.
