A subtle sense of beauty, audacious methods and well-honed techniques go into creating every dish.

Following his graduation, he received further training in Osaka and Kyoto. In 2010, he finally opened "Japanese Restaurant Kyokabutoya" in Shijo Karasuma.

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. He then entered and trained at "Totoya" for nine years before moving to Tokyo to hone his skills at restaurants such as Japanese restaurants and sushi restaurants. 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.
