加藤 邦彦KATO KUNIHIKO
The Chef's Recommendations -
A love for large shellfish, leading him into the culinary world
He was born in Miyagi prefecture in 1977. He started his career as a chef by entering "Kani Doraku" for the simple reason that he loved prawns and crabs. After that, he trained at a ryotei (traditional, luxurious Japanese restaurant) in Kyoto for three and a half years in order to learn the basics of Japanese cuisine, and polished his skills for three years at a Japanese restaurant handling natural prawns in New Zealand. After returning to Japan, he spent two and a half years at the Chinese restaurant "Renge" in Shinjuku. "Ubuka" was opened in 2012. While he sticks to the basics of Japanese cuisine, he brings out the charm of shellfish, sometimes using bold culinary techniques.

先崎 真朗SENZAKI MASAAKI
The Chef's Recommendations -
An encounter with Japanese-style cuisine in Osaka changed his life afterwards on a grand scale
He was born in Saga prefecture in 1976. After graduating from high school, he set his sights on the path of Western cuisine at first in culinary school. However, he was so deeply impressed by the Japanese-style cuisine at "Totoya" in Kitashinchi, Osaka, that he decided to change his focus to Japanese cuisine. He then entered and trained at "Totoya" for nine years before moving to Tokyo to hone his skills at restaurants such as Japanese restaurants and sushi restaurants. Subsequently, he opened "Jushu" in a quiet residential area in Nishi-Azabu in 2010. His unwavering hard work and research allowed him to finally obtain two Michelin stars in 2012.

To stay busy and to contribute something of worth - the job of chef is a sacred task
