About にかけては
When に is combined with the て-form of the る-Verb 掛ける 'to hang' or 'to suspend' and は, a common phrase meaning 'when it comes to (A), (B)', or 'regarding (A), (B)' is created. (A) にかけては (B) is used to express that within a certain field or domain, (B) is the best, or has a distinct advantage.
This expression will be seen following a noun expressing the 'field' that is being discussed.
Caution
にかけては will always express a positive within (B). Due to this, it will be unnatural to use when highlighting a negative aspect or point.
- 先輩の歌唱力にかけては、社内で一番下手だ。My senpai is the worst in the company when it comes to singing. (Unnatural Japanese)
Caution
Be careful not to confuse this grammar point with the にかけて that will appear primarily after nouns that indicate some sort of time-frame within which something occurs.
- 朝から夕方にかけて肉をゆっくりと煮込んだ。I slow-cooked the meat from morning to night.
