This chef decided to devote his life to cooking after meeting the president of the company.
After meeting the president of Jitokko Kumiai Matsue Ekimae, Chef Inoue was startled by the extent to which they shared the same thinking and decided to move from an unrelated industry to become a chef. His eyes shine as he tells us how fun it is for him to receive direct, positive feedback from customers. He also feels that this work, where he gives shape to his own ideas with the design of the menu and flavoring of the food, has real meaning. Each day he works to continue to produce delicious food.

A veteran shop loved by the locals for many years. The unchanged taste of the yakitori goes to show they are particular about good flavor.
There was a time when I walked around and ate at all the yakitori shops in the city, tells Mr. Shigeyama. His love for yakitori lead him to open his "Yakitori House Nonchan" in 1984. You can take the finest quality ingredients for granted, and every skewer is carefully prepared by hand in-house. There is no end to the regulars who make their way in for a taste of Mr. Shigeyama's carefully crafted yakitori.

Techniques cultivated on Rishiri Island from a younge age. A Japanese chef who is fastidious about "vitality".
With his father cooking at his own shop in Susukino, Chef Kato spent his youth close to the kitchen. He hammered into himself the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine through rigorous training at Kanotei, the culinary ryokan of his father's associate on Rishiri Island. From the knowledge of seafood preparation he gained at that time, even now he's fastidious about the "vitality" of fresh seafood. After ten years of experience on Rishiri, he now exercises his skill in Asashikawa.

Depth that even a connoisseur can taste.
Wanting to use my hands to make a living, I entered the food industry because of my interest in cuisine. With over 20 years since we opened Rikyu, you'll soon find out why connoisseurs say, "When it comes to grilled beef tongue, one seeks the modest sensitivity that's a product of a single coal in the fire. The flavorful depth of each ingredient can change with the chef."

玉城 利也TAMASHIRO TOSHIYA
The Chef's Recommendations -
His own love of Okinawan soba motivated him to pursue the perfect dish
Born in Okinawa in 1985, our chef was raised on Okinawan soba and his love for it is unmatched. His fascination with the dish grew as he went from restaurant to restaurant, observing differences in flavor, until at last he decided to become a chef himself. Of particular importance to him is the balance of bonito and pork in flavoring the dashi broth. His aim is a taste that is refreshing, yet never boring, and he devotes himself wholeheartedly to that pursuit to this day.
