Keeping the words "learn from the past" close to his heart and valuing the traditions of Japanese cuisine, he naturally started his career as a chef
Born in Ehime prefecture on August 20, 1975, he grew up in a family who were running Ajisho. So, from a young age, he understood from experience both the severity and joy felt as a chef. Although he had his heart set on becoming a stockbroker while studying at college, he began his career as a chef in order to succeed his father. After graduating from college, he trained in Japanese cuisine and sushi and headed to Ajisho 12 years ago. He continues with devotion every day to being the chef he visualized himself as at a young age, while valuing the traditions and the words "learn from the past" close to his heart.

Nothing says Sendai like gyutan (beef tongue)!
Nothing says Sendai like gyutan (beef tongue)! Interested in local ingredients, he took a job at Rikyu where he is now in charge of the grill. His motto is to take high quality ingredients and carefully grill them to perfection. "Grilling gyutan is fairly straightforward, and yet the flavor differs with each chef. I find that fascinating," Takashi remarks, as he affectionately tends the grill.

Enjoy "Kushiage" (fried skewers), have fun with the chef, and understand its depth.
After graduating from culinary school, he hoped to become a patissier, so he began working at a French restaurant through an introduction from the school. Following that an acquaintance introduced me to a steakhouse. Ultimately, he wound up working at several different restaurants. When he turned 30, he began thinking about the chef he wanted to become. He started at a kushiage (fried skewers) restaurant. It was his first time interacting with customers at a counter. As a chef, there was nothing better than directly seeing a customer's reaction. 15 years has since passed and he has continued working as a kushiage chef.

After finishing school in China, I started working at a restaurant.
From the age of 20, I trained at Chinese restaurants and worked for 20 years in China. At the time it was tough, but I started with the fundamentals of Chinese cuisine. After this, I came to Japan and worked at a restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown where I offered up Chinese food to Japanese customers. In 2012, I achieved my dream of opening my own restaurant, Kokien, right here in Yokohama Chinatown. I would love for you to come and try my authentic Chinese dishes.

作元 慎哉SAKUMOTO SHINYA
The Chef's Recommendations -
Breathing new life into traditional Spanish cuisine
He was born in Ishikawa prefecture in 1982. He says that he focused on Spanish cuisine in culinary school because the Latino atmosphere matched his character well. After his graduation, he worked for three years at a hotel in Kanazawa before going to Spain to learn about the flavors in the country itself. In Spain, he trained at famous Michelin-starred restaurants such as "Restaurante Alameda", "Fonda Sala", and "Restaurante Neiche", and he opened "Fermintxo" in Nishi-Azabu after returning to Japan. He continues to present the techniques he learned at those famous restaurants, together with his novel ideas that never adhere to a fixed framework, on a plate.

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.
