The Chef's Recommendations

After finishing his job as a businessman, decided to make living with Okonomiyaki.

I was born 1968, in Kagawa. When I quit being a salaryman, I chose the early retirement option of the company I was working for and decided to make my living making "okonomiyaki". After going around to try many restaurants, I chose to train at "Hassho", which was the most delicious. I continuously worked and gained experience under my strict teacher, and in the end, I inherited the restaurant from him when he retired. Under the teaching of "Never forget to concentrate on making delicious dishes, rather than to earn a lot of money", I dedicate myself to the grill for the many guests who kindly line up in front of my restaurant today.

今井良和Yoshikazu Imai

The Chef's Recommendations

Japanese cuisine - the more you know, the deeper you find it. He researches daily in search of its quintessence.

He was born in Chiba prefecture in 1972. He entered the culinary world when he was 19, and polished his skills at places such as an old, well-established inn at Hakone, and luxurious, traditional Japanese restaurants in Tokyo. After that, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Japanese cuisine and put 20 years of experience under his belt before setting out on his own. When he was younger, he thought, "Knife skills are like sports. I will become proficient according to how much effort I spend practicing them," but he says that as he gained more experience, he hit upon a new realization of the profundity of Japanese cuisine. Now, the driving force behind Mr. Imai's dishes is precisely his humble approach, as he says, "Even now, I'm learning new things every day."
