Q&A

Can I become a chef, without any experience?

Yes of course you can. At first, everyone starts with no experience, so if you have the desire to become a yakitori restaurant, it’s okay. Among the craftsmen who are currently active in our company, there are various staff who have changed jobs from different industries.

Is there an age limit for recruitment?

18 to 65 years old. There are no other age restrictions.
Chefs in their 20s to 50s are also working happily.

How many years of apprenticeship will it take?

We don’t have a specific period because everyone works differently.
You have the support from the chefs around you, until you can grill Yakitori yourself, so becoming fully qualified will depend on your own efforts.

Do you need physical strength?

Since the job requires standing, some people may get tired if they are not used to it at first, but you should gradually get used to it as you work.

Can we have private time?

Of course you can.
We also have a company-original vacation system so that you can enjoy your private time to your heart’s content.
For details, please refer to the section on holidays in the application guidelines.

What is the atmosphere like while working?

There is a lively and energetic atmosphere full of vigor and cheerfulness, with a pleasant and relaxed mood.
During business hours, we are completely focused on our customers, so we work together as a team to create a good sense of unity and gain a sense of accomplishment.

Is the hierarchical relationship between chefs very strict?

The senior chefs will treat you kindly with passion and thoughtfulness, so it’s a very friendly atmosphere.
It’s an environment where you can ask questions without hesitation if you don’t understand something or have a problem.

Do you need language skills?

You don’t need it right away.
We have overseas customers who come to our restaurant, so we recommend studying a language so that customers can have a conversation and enjoy the charm of Yakitori to the fullest.

What kind of questions are asked in the interview?

We often ask questions about your “thoughts” and “feelings” rather than cooking techniques and experiences.
Let’s aim to become a “world-class Yakitori chef” together.
