Masahiro Kasahara is the chef-owner of Sanpi Ryoron, a traditional Japanese restaurant in the trendy Ebisu district of Tokyo. After a nine-year apprenticeship at the famous Shogatsuya Kiccho restaurant, he took over his family’s yakitori restaurant, Torisho. Then in 2004 he opened Sanpo Ryoron, which soon became so popular that reservations were hard to come by.

He appears frequently on TV, conducts cooking classes and writes for various magazines. In 2009 he opened a new Japanese restaurant in Seoul, and in 2013 opened the Nagoya branch of Sanpi Ryoron, followed in 2014 by a Hiroo, Tokyo, branch called Sanpi Ryoron for Men, which features dishes from the flagship location. He also recently worked with Japan Airlines to develop tasty and innovative in-flight meals.
