From Tokyo. He is the eighth generation to manage the family soba (buckwheat noodles) restaurant. He intended to continue the family business after graduating from university, but decided to study Japanese cuisine beyond soba noodles at Ginza's Rokusantei in order to bring the restaurant into a new age. Afterward, he worked concurrently at both a Japanese culinary inn in Atami and a catering fish market, studying the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine and fish wholesaling. He studied at the sushi shop Aoyagi in Tokyo and handmade soba restaurants-then returned to take over Asada, where he remains today.
