先崎 真朗SENZAKI MASAAKI
The Chef's Recommendations -
An encounter with Japanese-style cuisine in Osaka changed his life afterwards on a grand scale
He was born in Saga prefecture in 1976. After graduating from high school, he set his sights on the path of Western cuisine at first in culinary school. However, he was so deeply impressed by the Japanese-style cuisine at "Totoya" in Kitashinchi, Osaka, that he decided to change his focus to Japanese cuisine.

Subsequently, he opened "Jushu" in a quiet residential area in Nishi-Azabu in 2010. His unwavering hard work and research allowed him to finally obtain two Michelin stars in 2012.
