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.
