25-Year-Old Handsome Chef Arrested for Indecent Exposure Who is the Super Celebrity Who Goes to a 50,000 Yen Fine Japanese Restaurant in Ginza?

With only eight seats at the counter, reservations are hard to come by. A handsome chef, only 25 years old, was in charge of the restaurant, which was frequented by tycoons from the worlds of business and entertainment. However, the man who lost his desire for the restaurant lost his status overnight.

He even melts down the wives of celebrities. ......

　On March 27, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department announced the arrest of Kauma Saki, manager of Izuku restaurant, on charges of breaking and entering and indecent assault. The victim was a woman in her 20s who worked at another restaurant. The victim lived in an auto-locking apartment, but the suspect entered around 6:00 a.m. on January 15, taking advantage of the time when residents were coming in and out of the apartment. He then entered the unlocked room of the woman and allegedly touched her breasts on her clothes while she was sleeping. The incident came to light the next day when the woman reported the incident to the police. Since opening two years ago, Izuku has become known as a restaurant where reservations are difficult to come by.

 The clientele includes famous CEOs of publicly listed companies, venture CEOs, members of the Diet, lawyers, entertainers, and other prominent people. What is interesting is that even the wives of some of the celebrities went to the restaurant. The reason for this is the suspect's handsome face, which is comparable to that of a Japanese-American. All the women were so taken with him that they were calling out to him, "Saki, Saki," as they competed with each other to buy him expensive wines that cost tens of thousands of yen, in order to support him in opening a restaurant in Ginza at such a young age. There was even a female manager who sighed and said, "I can't help but admire him in a Kappogi (cooking wear).

Is he Yusaku Maezawa's "personal chef"?　

　However, in front of customers, the suspect was a gentleman. He was modest in his service and did not overstep his bounds. That humble attitude was also a reason for his popularity. His cooking skills are genuine. He said, "I'm not interested in just overpriced ingredients. I cook what I feel is delicious on my own tongue,' and it was truly delicious. The first name that comes to mind is ZOZO founder Yusaku Maezawa. Although there are some reports on the Internet that he was an "exclusive chef," an acquaintance of Mr.

Maezawa said, "When he was working as a freelance chef before opening Izuku, I took him to parties at my home and on overseas business trips three or four times, but he was not an exclusive chef. He was not an exclusive chef. There are many such chefs for a celebrity of Mr. Maezawa's caliber. However, Mr. Maezawa must be shocked at the arrest of a young chef with a promising future." When we asked Mr. Maezawa himself, he said, "I have asked several chefs to provide catering services on business trips on an outsourced basis, and I have asked Mr. Saki several times before," according to a spokesperson.

His career started at a "high school student restaurant.

　The suspect, Mr. Saki, is from Mie Prefecture. His career started in the "cooking club" of the food preparation section of Aika High School, which was the model for the 2011 drama "High School Restaurant" (Nippon Television Network Corporation), starring Masahiro Matsuoka. The suspect, who was the head of the club, participated in many competitions during his high school years and won more than 30 awards. After graduation, he trained as a chef at "Kyoto Kitcho" for three years, worked as a "free chef," and just two years ago opened his own restaurant, which he had longed for. 　The suspect stated in an interview with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department that he was too drunk to remember. 　

of the regular customers lamented, "It's a shame because he was not only good-looking but also talented. He must have been under a lot of pressure because he was the center of attention. I heard that he drank a lot of alcohol after work. He is still young. I hope he atones for his crime and starts over from scratch."
