The two successful candidates motivations« It was when I was a 6th grade student that I determined to become a chef. I madedinner for my family on my parent’s birthday for the first time and they
complimented it as quite delicious, which made me determined to become a chef
who could make people happy and enjoy myself as well.
I have dreamed of going to France to study after graduating from the vocational school.
In the future, I would like to open my own restaurant in Fukushima Prefecture and becomea chef who could give out the information about Fukushima’s beauty to people who still
have a distrust of Fukushima’s agricultural, forestry and fishery products.»
Yu OHORI - 17 years old« It is my grandfather who made me start thinking about becoming a chef. After he worked
for a hotel in Tokyo and “Ryokan (Japanese inn)” in Inawashiro, he opened a diner in Aizu
Wakamatsu City. When I was a child, I spent a lot of time at his diner and saw the way hedeftly cooked and had a chat with the old customers of his diner. Above all, I clearly
remember that he cooked me quite delicious “Oden” and “Karaage (Japanese FriedChicken)”. He always made people happy and smile through his dishes. I have a dream tobecome a chef like my grandfather who made everyone happy and smile. »Makoto SAJI -17 years old10
