Additional Information

Specialist in aging meats and seafood.

Can make all the sauces and mass-produce them.

Ran the kitchen alone in a 20-seat bistro and served all the food in less than eight minutes. (6 menus of Donburi and ramen)

Specialist of raw mackerel sashimi and shimesaba.

It is very difficult to manage mackerel, so in Korea, we put the live mackerel in the tank and serve it to customers. But I can. So we are the only one restaurant in Korea that sells raw mackerel sashimi without a water tank.

As a refrigeration expert, I have the skill to keep the original color without changing to white even if we defrost the shimesaba after freezing it. The color of the shimesaba changes even with the super-frozen method. I can freeze other fish fillets in better quality than Super Frozen.

Can make a sterilized product in the form of a retort pouch because you have a good understanding of Korean and Japanese food.


Currently, many Korean-run restaurants contact me to hire, but I am interested in the chain business and looking for an employer or investor who can use my technology.

I'm a small restaurant expert with less than 20 seats that can be run by two or three people.
