About Our Director
Tomo Ishizuka
Tomotaka Ishizuka, the director of T&I, worked for authentic Japanese restaurants in Tokyo and Kanazawa which he received an award in the exhibition during that time. His strong will to “expand Japanese cuisine overseas”, lead him to become a head chef in restaurants in Australia.
After learning fundamental skills in restaurants in Tokyo, he moved to Melbourne for two-and-a-half-years from 2005 to earn overseas experience, and went back to Japan, Kanazawa to study Kaga Kaiseki course dish. In Kanazawa, Tomotaka earned great experience and knowledge about culture, traditional ingredients, recipes and more, of Kaga Kaiseki course dish.
After training in Kanazawa, Tomotaka was offered a head chef position of a Japanese restaurant in Casino Hotel in Melbourne, where he worked for a few years. In a diverse environment, he sought innovative ways of staff education, management of sales and budget, and improvement of Japanese cuisine. Also, he learned about Food Sanitation Law and Labour Standard Act of Australia.
Currently, Tomotaka has launched a Japanese restaurant consulting company in Australia, committed to support Japanese restaurant entrepreneurs.
