The Chef's Recommendations

Having entered the culinary world from the civil service, Mr. Nagasawa is now fully utilizing the skills he has honed to create superb dishes.

He was born in 1974 in Tottori. Grew up eating his grandmother's country cooking. He longed for Western-style food, such as hamburgers and spaghetti, and began cooking them himself. He dreamed of being a cook to make better food but became a civil servant. When he was not ready to give up on his dream, he was inspired by his master, a connoisseur at the market. He trained at a kappo restaurant for five years, a Japanese restaurant in the Kansai region, and a restaurant specializing in wagyu beef. Now, as the owner-chef of Sakurachaya, he continues working hard, making full use of his connoisseurship of fresh fish and his connections.
