有馬 卓Taku Arima
-
Joy was the starting point. Mr. Arima is the "creator" who manages Grattan Cafe.
He was born in 1969 in Hiroshima. As a young boy, a salmon meuniere he made in class inspired him to start cooking. He learned the joy of being a cook when he served the dish to adults who had heard of its reputation. In his youth, he worked as a food coordinator. While proposing dishes to numerous restaurants, he suggested "focusing on gratin" to one restaurant, which received a response beyond his thought. The response he received at that time became the starting point of Gratin Cafe.
