From the chef
Mr. Akita creates new dishes based on French culinary techniques and the spirit of his master.
He was born in 1976 in Osaka. Inspired by the allure of French cuisine on a TV show, he aspired to become a chef and enrolled in Osaka Abeno Tsuji Culinary Institute. Deeply impressed by Mr. Bernard Loiseau at Kobe Kitano Hotel, he honed his skills at Le Meurice in Paris and Le Petit Nice Passedat in Marseille. Then, he was deeply influenced by Mr. Alain Ducasse when he was involved in the opening of MUNI Kyoto Alain Ducasse in 2020. In July 2023, he assumed the executive chef at Benoit Kyoto.
