【No. 0839】Itamae (Chef)
Apr 5, 2017 08:13
Today I would like to talk about the Japanese word "itamae."
"Ita" means "chopping board," "mae" means "in front of," and "itamae" means a person who work in front of a chopping board, that is, a chef (especially a chef of Japanese cuisine).
Since only "ita" can mean a chef, you can refer to the chef as something like "ita-san."
(Here "san" is an honorific suffix.)
Also, there are several different names related to "itamae" depending on the status of the chef.
The top-ranking person in the cooking place, ie the master chef is called "hanaita" ("hana" means "flower") or "itacho" ("cho" means "top").
The second ranking person in the kitchen (sous-chef) is called "tugiita" ("tugi" means "next") or "wakiita" ("waki" means "supporting").
"Ita" means "chopping board," "mae" means "in front of," and "itamae" means a person who work in front of a chopping board, that is, a chef (especially a chef of Japanese cuisine).

板前
今日は「板前」という日本語を紹介します。
「板」は「まな板」のことであり、「板前」は「まな板の前で働く人」、すなわち料理人（特に日本料理の料理人）を指す言葉です。
「板」だけでも料理人を指すこともあり、「板さん」などと使われることもあります。
また、板前はその地位によって幾つかの異なる呼び名があります。
板場を仕切る最上位の人、すなわち料理長は、「花板」や「板長」と呼ばれます。
そして副料理長は、「次板」や「脇板」などと呼ばれます。

勉強になりました！
「花板」という呼び方が好きです。なんか「花」をつくとダントツになるような気がしますね。(●´ー｀●)

そうですね、「花」はとても良い意味で使われることが多いです。例えば「華（花）がある」は、全ての女性が喜ぶ褒め言葉です :)
