Since deeply enjoying chicken as a child, he headed straight on the path to being a chef.
A chef with strong roots, his father worked as head chef of Tokyo Kaikan and cooked chicken roasts on his days off. Because of his enjoyment of chicken, he set out to be a yakitori (chicken skewer) chef from the age of 19.

片山 義邦KATAYAMA YOSHIKUNI
The Chef's Recommendations -
After finishing his job as a businessman, decided to make living with Okonomiyaki.
I was born 1968, in Kagawa. When I quit being a salaryman, I chose the early retirement option of the company I was working for and decided to make my living making "okonomiyaki". After going around to try many restaurants, I chose to train at "Hassho", which was the most delicious. I continuously worked and gained experience under my strict teacher, and in the end, I inherited the restaurant from him when he retired. Under the teaching of "Never forget to concentrate on making delicious dishes, rather than to earn a lot of money", I dedicate myself to the grill for the many guests who kindly line up in front of my restaurant today.
