亀谷 光Hikaru Kameya
The Chef's Recommendations -
After his experience working in a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant, he wished to open a branch in his hometown of Okinawa.
Born in Okinawa in 1986. He has always enjoyed meat, and upon reaching the age of 26 he worked in Shippu Horumon, a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant in Okinawa. There, he gained experiences and learned about how to make meat delicious and the importance of sauce and seasonings in enhancing the taste of yakiniku. Eventually, he made his own formula of special sauce that he called "Hikaru Sauce" for two years while managing a coffee shop. His dream of opening his own restaurant became real as he opened STEAK HIKARU in August of 2017. Since then, he dedicated himself to create"delicious steaks that he wants to eat," which lead him to bring many customers.

中島 康晴Yasuharu Nakajima
-
Yasuharu Nakajima serves up Hokkaido soul food using only the finest ingredients sourced from the very same island he calls home.
Although he was born in Kyoto on April 12th, 1961, Yasuharu Nakajima moved to Sapporo when he was just 100 days old. His first encounter with the restaurant business was when he got a job in one while still a student, although he then went on to work in an unrelated sector for many years. However, Genghis Khan, Hokkaido's soul food, managed to bring him back to the culinary world. Nakajima wanted to open a restaurant that specialized in Hokkaido-bred lamb, so he decided his first step would be to raise his own sheep. Over a period of years, he slowly built up his flock until nine years later in 2012, when he was finally able to open his restaurant, Genghis Khan Hitsujikai no Mise "Itadakimasu". As an adult who has a responsibility towards food, Nakajima also runs projects to strengthen ties with children.
