Born in 1979 in Yanagawa, Chef Hideo Mochizuki grew up in an environment where his father operated a local shabu-shabu and steak restaurant called "Tagetsu." During his childhood, Mochizuki was passionate about playing baseball, and initially had little intention of taking over the family business. However,a turn of events involving an elbow injury led him to choose a career in the culinary world. After graduating from high school, he underwent training in Japanese cuisine at various establishments, including "Ryunuan" in Shinjuku, "Genyadana Hamada-ya" in Ningyocho, and "Kappo Kisaku" in Azabu-Juban. In August 2013, following the closure of his father's restaurant, he decided to carry on the family legacy and opened his own restaurant under the name "Japanese Cuisine Tagetsu."

At Tagetsu, you can also find a selection of limited-edition Japanese sake from top breweries in Kanagawa. One such sake is "Ryu," available in only a few restaurants across the country. With its rich umami flavor from the rice, this sake pairs exceptionally well with Japanese cuisine.
