MENU

Born in 1978 to parents who ran one of the leading Japanese restaurants in Miyazaki Prefecture. At the age of 18, he moved to Tokyo with the aim of becoming a chef. He gained experience and skills through training at renowned restaurants such as "Kyoaji" run by Kenichiro Nishi, considered the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine and often referred to as the god of Japanese cuisine. In 2010, he became the owner and chef of "Kurogi" in Yushima, Tokyo. In 2011 and 2012, he earned stars in the Michelin Guide Tokyo. In the cooking competition program "Iron Chef" that aired in October 2012, he appeared as the new "Iron Chef of Japanese-style meal" and attracted attention as the "Young Iron Chef." In 2014, with the goal of "developing Japanese sweets culture," he opened a Japanese sweets shop "Kuriya Kashi Kurogi" designed by Kengo Kuma on the campus of the University of Tokyo in Hongo. In March 2017, the main restaurant "Kurogi" moved from Yushima to Shiba-Daimon to provide even more attentive hospitality to its customers. He became a member of the Japanese Cuisine Study Association and is playing a part in the development of Japanese food culture.

Born in Miyazaki Prefecture, he has loved tonkatsu for over 30 years. He studied under Jun Kuroki in order to create a long-loved tonkatsu restaurant like the three famous tonkatsu restaurants in Ueno: Ponta Honke, Horai-ya, and the regrettably closed Futaba. In September 2024, he opened Tonkatsu Jun-chan with great anticipation.
