Born in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. After starting his career at a hotel restaurant, he worked at teppanyaki restaurants in Fukuoka and Kurume, gaining cooking experience while also honing his customer service skills.
After becoming the head chef of the specialty restaurant 'Teppanyaki De Jima' at the Nagasaki Marriott Hotel, he produces 'creative teppanyaki' that allows guests to enjoy all five senses, utilizing ingredients from Nagasaki Prefecture and employing techniques from Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines, without being confined to traditional teppanyaki. With his outstanding skills, he continues to captivate visiting guests.
Comment from Teppanyaki Head Chef Katsuhiro Inoue
Teppanyaki De Jima promises to provide a special time not only for couples, families, and business customers but also for individuals. The characteristics of Nagasaki Wagyu, carefully raised by producers, are the umami of the meat and the sweetness of the fat. To bring smiles of 'delicious' to our customers, Teppanyaki De Jima cooks with heartfelt dedication every day.
