紫藤　喜則SHITO YOSHINORI

The Chef's Recommendations

His feelings toward cuisine changing from an encounter with natural wines

Born 1975 and coming from Saitama, he began on the road of the chef at 24 and that of French cuisine at 28. Coming in contact with the charms of vin naturel at Le Cabaret in Yoyogi-Uehara, he found himself committed to natural wines. After training further at restaurants like the famed L'amitie in Takadanobaba, he opened Libertin in 2011. With the development of his career as chef and his knowledge of light natural wines, his feelings of something not additive but subtractive grow stronger, and his cookery transforms further into a simpler cuisine that better brings out the life of the ingredients.
