本間　勇司HOMMA YUJI

The Chef's Recommendations

A Japanese professional chef with attention to using safe ingredients.

He was born in 1970, Wakkanai city, Hokkaido. He got a job working at a sushi restaurant where he worked for two years at the recommendation of one of his junior high school teachers. After working there, he further polished his skills at a Japanese restaurant in Tokyo, and he has been the head chef at Kawajin Main Store since 2006. These days, as consumers become more aware of what they are eating, we take prudence in insuring the safety of our ingredients, and we only use ingredients grown locally with low amounts of agricultural chemicals.

中港大将NAKAMINATO TAKAYUKI

His father's shop burned to the ground... but continuing the family legacy was his destiny!

Born in Hokkaido in 1974, he grew up watching his father running Minato Sushi, his shop in Asahikawa. After graduating from high school, he decided to become a sushi chef, and spent 7 years in Sapporo and 3 in Tokyo polishing his skills in the preparation of sushi and Japanese cuisine. In 1999, Minato Sushi burned to the ground, and when he heard that the shop was going to be closed for good, he made up his mind.

浅野　雅次ASANO MASATSUGU

The Chef's Recommendations

Transformed from a westernstyle restaurant to Japanese 'izakaya' (barrestaurant), with the aim of creating a place where a group of regulars gather around the bar area.

After training mainly in French and Western cuisine from the age of 18, he switched over to what he's wanted to do from his 20s, and that's working in an izakaya Japanese bar. He is currently entrusted with the cooking at Yakitori Oden Zen. Taking special care to note the seasons, he makes classic oden (winter vegetable soup) as well as other original dishes.

山田　弘YAMADA HIROSHI

The Chef's Recommendations

If I were to have a restaurant I'd have a sushi restaurant

Always in love with sushi, the owner desired to have a sushi restaurant of his own. His dream came true at age 30, setting up his own restaurant after going through much painful training. Bringing in fresh ingredients from fatty tuna from Shakotan, Hokkaido, to conger eel from Uchiurawan, the chef is especially picky when it comes to choosing ingredients, going as far as Kyushu depending on the ingredients.

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.

松林　康和MATSUBAYASHI YASUKAZU

The Chef's Recommendations

A chef in continuous pursuit of the origin of Japanese cuisine.

He was born on March 13th, 1957 in Ashibetsu city. Raised under the wings of his working parents, he set his sights on the path of culinary arts and nature. While attending culinary school, he worked hard part-time at the ryokan (Japanese inn) that he was living in. He realised that the origin of the Japanese palate lay in Japanese cuisine and started work at a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant). Subsequently, he assumed the role of head chef at a ryokan in Sapporo. Since 2007, he has been displaying his cooking prowess as the head chef of Saryo Takinoya.
