The Chef's Recommendations

The skills he learned at an upscale Japanese restaurant have flourished here in Okinawa. A true culinary craftsman who makes traditional Japanese fare you can only get here

Born in Chiba prefecture in 1975, he began by working in a pub. However, he longed to pursue more complex Japanese cuisine, so he took a job at a famous, high-class traditional restaurant in Yokohama called Taiya where he knew the training was rigorous. With the support of his boss there, he plied his skills at restaurants in Nihonbashi and Yurakucho, finally making his way to that of his boss's own mentor, Maki, in Kagurazaka. As a result of his hard work, he was appointed head chef at the opening of Oriental Hills Okinawa. He continues to devote each day to expanding the allure of traditional Japanese cuisine to Okinawa
