Bringing smiles to customers by insisting on "speciality" rank quality Matsusaka beef.
Born in 1974 in Toyama prefecture. While he originally worked in a completely seperate industry, he joined the staff at "Ittetsu Takaokahonten" due to a love of yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) and now manages the restaurant. The restuarant only uses "Matsusaka beef." He insists on serving the "speciality" rank, which allows one to enjoy the pure umami (pleasant savory taste) of the red meat itself, something that one cannot do when eating a shimofuri (high-quality marbled) cut. This carefully selected "Matsusaka beef" is always cut and served in the best way that will delight all customers.
