Captivated by the flavours of the long-established restaurant, he has become part of Meijiken's lineage.
Aspiring chef Susumu Hagino was 23 when he first discovered Meijiken. Forty years have passed since that moment, during which time Chef Hagino learned all about taste and technique from the restaurant's master. Using seasonings passed down for generations, he prepares dishes that cannot be tasted anywhere else. He believes that passing this onto the next generation of youngsters is an important duty.
