藤原 崇史FUJIWARA TAKASHI
-
The parttime job that he had at an izakaya when he was a high school student inspired him to become a chef.
The reason why he decided to get a part-time job in an izakaya (Japanese pub restaurant) was that he wanted to eat the free food. It may not have been the most romantic reason, but this is what led to his career in the restaurant business. Through his part-time job he learned how much fun cooking was, and decided to attend catering college. At college he met fellow students who would play an important part in shaping his future career. After graduating, he spent time working in three different Japanese restaurants. After working for ten years, he and his friends from college opened "Jounetsu Shokusai Kyoshoku". Later, in 2014, they opened "Fujiya Kyoshoku".

He had always hoped to become a French chef, and he fell in love with French food even more in that position, where he spent quality time working under a head chef he greatly admired. He has continued to achieve great things and gain experience since then.
