From the chef
Connecting history and the future. The fourth generation's challenge and progress with a passion for cooking.
Mr. Takenaka was born in 1994 in Kyoto. Born into a family that ran a restaurant, he grew up close to cooking from an early age. After graduating from university, he attended evening classes at culinary school to learn the basics of cooking while working at a fish market in the morning to learn practical skills so that he gained a profound understanding of ingredients. Following that, he honed his skills at prestigious restaurants such as the renowned inn Sumiya Ryokan in Kyoto and joined Seiwasou in 2022. He is a chef who leads a historic restaurant into the future, preserving tradition while fearlessly embracing new challenges.
