金沢Kanazawa

Mr. Kanazawa opened a sake bar to introduce the delicious taste of Japan to overseas guests.
He was born in 1980 in Osaka. While working for a trading company, he had the opportunity to visit many different countries. As he tasted the cuisine of those countries and met the people there, his fascination for Japanese cuisine, which is his origin, grew.

He studied independently and honed his culinary skills under the guidance of his acquaintance, the current head chef, and opened SAKE BAR CHOCO CHOCO as the owner in 2024.
