高瀬 健一TAKASE KENICHI
The Chef's Recommendations -
Our chef adds a stylish presentation to Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine
Our chef was born in May 1965 and is a native of Miyagi Prefecture's Sendai City. His interest in cooking started around the age of 20. On a visit to Hong Kong at the age of 24, the flavors of the authentic dishes he experienced there impressed him so profoundly that afterwards he sought out Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine. He moved to Tokyo at 29 and, after training mainly at hotel restaurants, including the Tokyo and Maihama Sheraton Hotels, he participated in the opening of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Tokyo. Three years later, he achieved his first one-star Michelin rating and, after another four years, he opened Cantonese "Tsubame" KEN TAKASE.

I had a fascination with the hospitality industry and I always hoped to have my own place!
My first job working in the hospitality industry was at an izakaya. While I was working there, I became very interested in the industry and I began to think about starting up my own place. From that time on, all of my attention went into learning how to cook. The izakaya that I worked at focused mainly on seafood based cuisine, which meant that I gained a lot of knowledge and tricks about cooking with fish. People say that my knowledge of fish is on a different level to others.

Currently, he is the chef at Shimagohan Kokoro Hokkori Okinawa Meshi, and brings "true attraction of Okinawa and reliable Okinawan taste" to customers carefully.

和田 隆WADA TAKASHI

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.
