Quality ingredients are essential for soba. A soba artisan who ignores profit in order to serve up delicious soba
He was born in 1967 in Ehime Prefecture. The family's soba restaurant had been founded by his father. Growing up watching his father at work, he knew as a young child that he wanted to succeed his father at the restaurant. In order to hone his skills, he left home for years to train at renowned soba restaurants in Chiba Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, and at Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture. He then returned home to take over "Hagi no Chaya". Using only the finest ingredients to serve up the best soba, he pays no attention to profit-a true soba artisan.

竹内 徹平TAKEUCHI TEPPEI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Switched from Being a Chef Specializing in Japanese Cuisine to a Sake Professional
He was born in Oita, Japan in 1975. While he was originally trained as a chef specializing in Japanese cuisine, his eyes were opened to Japanese sake as well when he tried sake named Tatsuriki at a neighborhood sake shop. He took a license of sake sommelier, and his frequent interactions with sake brewers resulted in an obsession with sake. At first, he was a constant customer of [Washubar Kuri], and later he was employed at its sister shop in Shinbashi. He has been manager of [Washubar Kuri] since October 2012 where he is both a sake sommelier and chef.

小山 賢一KOYAMA KENICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
The skills learned in Switzerland and France are expressed on the plate using local ingredients.
I was born in 1961, in Hiroshima. Since childhood I have been familiar with cooking. I was impressed by sauce bechamel when I tasted it for the first time and decided to go to Europe to become familiar with French cuisine and culture there. Since 1986, for 3 years, I worked and studied in "Geneva Hotel Penta" and "Bern Restaurant Pune" in Switzerland, as well as restaurants like "Auberge L'eridan", "Le Jardin Gourmend", and "San James Club" in France before coming back to Japan. In 1990, I opened "Le Jardin Gourmand".

Aiming for a new, loved flavor in his native Hakata
He's loved eating since the beginning, and, a few years into being a cook after collecting experience in western and Italian restaurants, he had a fateful meeting with a certain bowl of ramen. From there, his course was decided. Returning to his native Hakata, he succeeded in developing through repeated trial and error a hitherto-untasted brand new flavor. Since then, he's earned the affection of many customers, and not just locals at that.

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.

An encounter with subtle yet profoundly complex Japanese cuisine
His fascination with the delicate yet complex flavors of the Japanese cuisine he encountered during his part-time job at a Japanese restaurant led him down the path to becoming a chef. He studied pure, authentic Japanese cuisine before coming to work with us. Our establishment serves not only okonomiyaki and monjayaki (savory pancakes with fillings), but also full course meals that bring genuine Japanese cuisine to life. He cooks each day with the belief that he should pour his all into every meal he makes.

An Encounter with the Master of a LongStanding Sake Shop, a Journey to Discover the Choicest Sake
Born in 1955 in Kumamoto prefecture. At the age of 18 he bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo and began his live-in training to be a chef. He opened "Kushikoma", which was originally just a normal izakaya (Japanese-style bar), at around 25 years of age. After that, he discovered a new-born love of sake (Japanese rice wine) upon meeting Mr. Mitsuhisa Kodama of the legendary "Koshuya" bar in Ikebukuro. The foundations were then laid for the present incarnation of "Kushikoma", which he realized through subsequent pilgrimages to breweries all over Japan to gather up the very best sake.

Since the more you get to know sake the more interesting it is, these days he is completely engrossed in sake .
