加藤 健吾KATOKENGO
-
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.

-
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.

國田 健KUNITA TAKESHI
-
A missionary for legitimate Italian cuisine He fell for fresh pasta and chose the path of Italian food
After working in a French restaurant, he was taken to an Italian restaurant by an associate and ate fresh pasta for the first time. He got an incredible shock and, his heart brimming with a desire to learn more, he started learning about Italian cuisine. Crossing over to Italy by himself, his self-confidence, built over a 10 year career, was shattered by the deliciousness of the food made for him by a local old lady, so he started a study of the fundamental importance of making food well. Without purposely pushing to make things different, he tries new techniques and brings in new sensations daily, even as he sticks to the methods of orthodox Italian, all to continue delivering the joy of Italian food.

油井 隆一YUI RYUICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
A Renowned Chef, Whose Career Began With Western Food
Mr. Yui was born in 1942 and grew up in Tokyo. Because he was acquainted with French food from a young age due to his mother's influence and also because he is left-handed, which is unusual for a sushi chef, his professional cooking career started with Western food at "Tokyo Kaikan." After completing his training, Mr. Yui returned to his birthplace and parents' home, "Kizushi" in Tokyo's Ningyocho, where he started from the lower ranks, acquiring the skills to become a sushi chef. Supplementing the traditions of Edo-style sushi with his skills in Western cuisine, Chef Yui is a leader in Tokyo's culinary scene.

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".

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.

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.
