望月 英雄MOCHIZUKI HIDEO
The Chef's Recommendations -
He chose a culinary career, which is the same as his father's, when he gave up his baseball career.
He was born in Hadano city, Kanagawa on November 11th, 1979. His father owned a local shabu-shabu (hot pot) and steak restaurant called "Tagetsu". He was extremely involved in playing baseball in his childhood, so he was not really planning to suceed his father, but he decided to go down the path of cooking upon experiencing pain in his elbows. After graduating from high school, he left for Tokyo and trained in Japanese cuisine at "Ryuun-an" and "Genyadana Hamadaya" in Shinjuku, as well as "Kappo Kisaku" in Azabu-Juban. In August 2013, he opened "Japanese Restaurant Tagetsu", taking the same name as the restaurant that his father had closed.
