Zaiyu Hasegawa
WB 50 Chefs’ Choice Award 2019
Zaiyu cooks a modern kaiseki meal. He follows the rules, uses great ingredients and has a flawless technique.
However then he takes the stiff- and stuffiness out of the whole experience and infuses it with unparalleled omotenashi and fun.
This creates an addictive mixture which is impossible not to fall for.
No wonder he won all of these accolades, but don't get me wrong, the food by itself is worth a visit.
