About にかけては

When に is combined with the て-form of the る-Verb 掛(か)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.

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.
