The Chef's Recommendations

Breathing new life into traditional Spanish cuisine

He was born in Ishikawa prefecture in 1982. He says that he focused on Spanish cuisine in culinary school because the Latino atmosphere matched his character well. After his graduation, he worked for three years at a hotel in Kanazawa before going to Spain to learn about the flavors in the country itself. In Spain, he trained at famous Michelin-starred restaurants such as "Restaurante Alameda", "Fonda Sala", and "Restaurante Neiche", and he opened "Fermintxo" in Nishi-Azabu after returning to Japan. He continues to present the techniques he learned at those famous restaurants, together with his novel ideas that never adhere to a fixed framework, on a plate.

This chef decided to devote his life to cooking after meeting the president of the company.

After meeting the president of Jitokko Kumiai Matsue Ekimae, Chef Inoue was startled by the extent to which they shared the same thinking and decided to move from an unrelated industry to become a chef. His eyes shine as he tells us how fun it is for him to receive direct, positive feedback from customers. He also feels that this work, where he gives shape to his own ideas with the design of the menu and flavoring of the food, has real meaning. Each day he works to continue to produce delicious food.

The Chef's Recommendations

His own love of Okinawan soba motivated him to pursue the perfect dish

Born in Okinawa in 1985, our chef was raised on Okinawan soba and his love for it is unmatched. His fascination with the dish grew as he went from restaurant to restaurant, observing differences in flavor, until at last he decided to become a chef himself. Of particular importance to him is the balance of bonito and pork in flavoring the dashi broth. His aim is a taste that is refreshing, yet never boring, and he devotes himself wholeheartedly to that pursuit to this day.

The Chef's Recommendations

From boxer to owner of oden (hot pot dish) stall. And then to French cuisine, in pursuit of the world stage…

He was born in Ibaraki prefecture in 1949. When he was in college, he was selected as one of the candidates to compete in gymnastics for the Olympics, and after graduating, he became a ranked professional boxer in Japan. After wrecking his body and giving up on boxing, he made a 180 degree turn and opened an oden (hot pot dish) stall. However, he says, "That would never allow me to aim for the world stage," and entered the world of French cuisine. He underwent training at a restaurant in Tokyo before going to France. After perfecting his skills for two years in places such as restaurants with three Michelin stars, he returned to Japan, and in 1988, he opened "A Ta Goul" in Ebisu. He took the opportunity to rename his restaurant to "Ne Quittez Pas" when he moved to Gotanda.

After seeing the old style restaurant "Kicho" on TV, he yearned to work at such a place, and enrolled in culinary school.
