篠原 武将Takemasa Shinohara
The Chef's Recommendations -
A natural talent for cooking blossomed after becoming a chef by chance
Born in 1980 in Shiga Prefecture. As a student, he was a promising karate athlete and was being considered for admission to university by recommendation. However, seeking a different path, he declined university offers by saying that he was looking for a trade, and through this he became a chef. His natural talent for cooking blossomed as he developed his skills at [Sangencha], a well-known Kyoto kaiseki (traditional Japanese course cuisine) restaurant serving Kansai-style cuisine. At 26, he opened his own restaurant, [Shinohara] in Shiga Prefecture, which over the course of nine years became a popular and prominent establishment. In 2016, he tackled a new frontier by opening Ginza Shinohara.
