渡辺　勇樹　　Yuuki Watanabe

With his pursuit of roast beef, Mr. Watanabe puts his uniqueness into each dish.

He gained experience in French restaurants and hotels. As he acquired various skills, he began to realize how different he was from the chefs around him and thought that he would like to "master his skills in one field" to pursue his uniqueness. Inspired by the realization that "warm roast beef also tastes great, instead of serving it cold," he opened Roast Beef no Mise Watanabe in 2013. In April 2021, the restaurant moved to a new location. He continues to devote himself passionately to mastering "Roast Beef."
