Wikipedia definition
3. Itamae​An itamae (板前) is a cook in a Japanese kitchen, or a chef in larger restaurants. The term can be translated literally as "in front of the board", referring to a cutting board. While it is not necessary to be Japanese in order to be considered an itamae, non Japanese must prove themselves worthy of such a title. Itamae traditionally wear a uniform of a white hat, white coat and apron, and frequently wear their knife in a sheathe off the waist.
