柴田 久人Hisato Shibata
The Chef's Recommendations -
The thing that prompted him to become a chef was hearing [that was delicious] from customers at a restaurant he was working at part-time
Born in Kanagawa Prefecture in January 1970. During his student years, he worked part-time at [Soshu Torigin.] He first thought of learning how to cook in earnest when customers told him that the food he made was delicious.

小笠原 敦OGASAWARA ATSUSHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Aiming for Japan's ultimate pizza instead of an Italian replica
He was born in Chiba prefecture in 1965. He was impressed by the Neapolitan pizza that he encountered by chance on a vacation, and decided to change to a pizza artisan. After that, one of his connections gave him a chance to go to the island of Sicily, and after returning to Japan in 2001, he opened "Sisiliya" in Yokohama. In order to create the ultimate pizza in Japan different from that in Italy, he adjusted everything from the flour and water to the temperature and humidity in a trial-and-error process. The current flavor is largely a result of self-learning from this repeated process. Subsequently, he also obtained the maestro qualification from the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani in Giappone.

Cooking is a profession that allows me to learn a lot from my customers, something for which I am truly grateful.
Born in Kanagawa, in a family of shopkeepers, he learned to love customer service from a very early age.

He started serving at the Onzoshi Kiyoyasutei Kamakura Prince Hotel one and a half years ago, and describes himself as deeply motivated by his trade, which allows him to learn important things from his customers and to explore the fascinating use of seasonal ingredients in Japanese cuisine.
