The Chef's Recommendations

Raised watching his father provide in-flight meals for VIPs, becoming a chef was a natural path for Mr. Aoyagi.

Born in 1971 in Chiba prefecture, he was the son of a chef providing in-flight meals on airplanes. As a child, Mr. Aoyagi saw his father board government airplanes as the head Japanese food chef and provide meals for the emperor and other VIPs, so becoming a chef was a natural path for him. After graduating, he joined Tsukiji Tamura and worked at Tokyo Tamura in Kobe (now known as Kobe Tamura) for 15 years as vice head chef. After gaining further experience at a Japanese restaurant in Sannomiya, Osaka, he opened his own restaurant in December 7, 2011. He currently works as the owner and head chef of Kappo Aoyagi.

Bringing smiles to customers by insisting on "speciality" rank quality Matsusaka beef.

Born in 1974 in Toyama prefecture. While he originally worked in a completely seperate industry, he joined the staff at "Ittetsu Takaokahonten" due to a love of yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) and now manages the restaurant. The restuarant only uses "Matsusaka beef." He insists on serving the "speciality" rank, which allows one to enjoy the pure umami (pleasant savory taste) of the red meat itself, something that one cannot do when eating a shimofuri (high-quality marbled) cut. This carefully selected "Matsusaka beef" is always cut and served in the best way that will delight all customers.
