There are no regrets if you do what you love, so Mr. Shoji always keeps moving forward.
Mr. Shoji was born in 1976 in the City of Otaru, Hokkaido. After graduating from high school, he worked for a company but left because he loved sushi and wanted to make it himself. After 10 years of training at a sushi restaurant in Otaru, the opportunity arose. He took over the store where his mother had worked(now the Takinami Store). He began helping out in the family business. For 5 years, he learned about selling seafood, purchasing, and insisting on fresh and delicious ingredients. Then, in July 2009, he opened the Kita no Donburiya Takinami Shokudo at the store in the same market.

The Chef's Recommendations -
A natural talent for cooking blossomed after becoming a chef by chance
Born in 1980 in Shiga Prefecture. As a student, he was a promising karate athlete and was being considered for admission to university by recommendation. However, seeking a different path, he declined university offers by saying that he was looking for a trade, and through this he became a chef. His natural talent for cooking blossomed as he developed his skills at [Sangencha], a well-known Kyoto kaiseki (traditional Japanese course cuisine) restaurant serving Kansai-style cuisine. At 26, he opened his own restaurant, [Shinohara] in Shiga Prefecture, which over the course of nine years became a popular and prominent establishment. In 2016, he tackled a new frontier by opening Ginza Shinohara.

Suggesting new ideas actively, while preserving the original tempura of [Kyoboshi].
He was born in 1969. As [Kyoboshi] was relocated from Gion to Tokyo, he was also born and brought up in Tokyo. After graduating from high school and having training at a famous traditional Japanese restaurant in Hyogo for 4 years, he went back to [Kyoboshi] in Ginza, as his father, the previous generation became sick. After having some more training under his father, he opened his own restaurant at the age of 22 in Gion, where [Kyoboshi] was originally founded. He has gained new layers of fans by suggesting new ideas such as serving tempura of sweet potato with brandy and sugar, while preserving the traditional taste of the restaurant. The restaurant has established its position and become world renowned.

Ms. Wakamiya offers guests food that is kind to the body and soul.
Hello, my dears, This is Tamie from Japanese Fermented Degustation Bar ODORU. My wish is to be your friend, and this thought is based on my own experiences, such as traveling to many countries and living overseas. What always comes to my mind is that you can experience a place more deeply when you have friends there, even in the middle of your travels. Among those experiences, dining is something that fully stimulates all five senses, making your experience richer and deeper. For that reason, I've opened my place in Osaka, the city where I grew up and where I still fall in love with every day. I'd love for you to have a local experience, just as we Japanese enjoy at home-savoring the umami and dashi uniquely of Osaka, as well as fermented foods and seasonings that are distinctly Japanese. At my place, I focus on using domestic ingredients and elements of Buddhist cuisine, which promote both physical and mental health. You can even enjoy a mini-lesson on Japanese dining culture while you dine. I will be very happy if you come to love Japan even more through these experiences than you know now. Thank you. Sincerely, Tamie

Beyond the Counter. Artisan techniques connect ingredients and smiles.
Mr. Doi was influenced as a child by his mother, who was very good at cooking and aspired to become a chef. His desire remained unchanged as he grew up, and he studied at a culinary school in the Kansai region, followed by seven years of training at a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in Kyoto. With this experience, he returned to Kyushu and joined the Japanese restaurant Matsukaze. He currently supports the restaurant as head chef. What he cherishes are the encounters with the ingredients and the smiles of his guests. He expresses the joy of being exposed to seasonal ingredients on his plate and delivers excitement over the counter through his cuisine daily.
