A pure and simple Izakaya! Nothing pleases us more than making our customers happy.
Since graduating from university, I've spent all my time working in various izakaya Japanese bars. This one's my tenth! Unlike other jobs, I love how you can see the customers' genuine reactions. I try my best everyday to prepare whatever dish the customer wants, even if it's not on the menu.

諸岡 昭二MOROKA SHOJI
-
Our chef's former occupation as an automotive engineer allowed him to transition brilliantly into a culinary architect who lets nothing go to waste.
He had originally worked as an engineer for the automobile industry, but after the Oil Crisis he switched careers to become a chef - a longtime passion. He ran his own food cart while attending culinary school, serving dark beer, which was quite rare at the time. He opened this establishment, "COTTON FIELDS", in 1980. He takes special care in selecting ingredients, and his motto is not to let a single part go to waste, with a special talent for bringing out the unique flavor of each component. He's most famous for his excellent spare ribs, garnished with a secret sauce he invented back in his food cart days.

Always obsessive about fish.
Seafood direct from the Port of Heda, Numazu. Every morning we head to Numazu port to buy our stock. Normally the fishermen bring in their afternoon catch to the Port of Heda to put out at market the next day. But we go directly to buy our fish so by that evening we can serve it in our restaurant. Our customers get to experience a freshness they would normally not be able to do.

北島 素幸KITAJIMA MOTOYUKI
The Chef's Recommendations -
With his career spanning nearly half a century, his role in developing French cuisine in Japan has been pivotal
He was born in 1951 in Fukuoka prefecture. He started his culinary career when he was 18, after entering "Royal" in Fukuoka. He was deeply impressed by the dessert buffets at "Regence" in Roppongi, which were still rare at that time, and he also trained as a patisserie. He went to France in 1977, and studied for five years at restaurants such as "Troisgros", and "Georges Blanc", being impressed once again by the culture of French cuisine that he experienced in the country itself. After returning to Japan, he held successive posts as a chef in "De Roanne" in Kyobashi, and "Pantagruel" in Akasaka. He opened "Kitajimatei" in 1990.
