Chef - Junichi Takazoe

Junichi Takazoe, Jimotti's owner chef, is originally from Shiga, Japan. He started his journey as a chef while he was in Japan and worked as a chef at well-known restaurants, such as Nobu in Minami-Aoyama and Marui-Sushi in Ginza, Tokyo.

After a few decades of experience as a chef, he started Jimotti's Restaurant in Sanford, Florida, in 2016. At Jimotti's Restaurant, we're thriving to be the kind of restaurant where locals can come after a long day of work, relax and enjoy the food - that's why we named our restaurant Jimotti (Jimoto means local in Japanese).

Kutaniyaki-USA

Our company has become the sole distributor of Kutani Bitoen in North America.

Kutani Bitoen is a long-established Kutani pottery company that has been in business for over 100 years since the Taisho era.

When His Majesty the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, Kutani Bitoen was the company that produced the daily-use tableware for his and Princess Masako's life together.

It is also a very interesting episode that Yoko Ono visited the studio and fired a one-of-a-kind piece of pottery with her own handwriting on it.

As the North American distributor of Kutani Bitoen, we are very proud to be a part of the Kutani Bitoen family. At the same time, we are proud to be able to deliver truly high quality products to the American people.
