松澤 直紀MATSUZAWA NAOKI
The Chef's Recommendations -
A Chef Who Pursues New Tastes While Respecting Basic Skills
After graduating from vocational college, Chef Matsuzawa (born 1970) started working at a restaurant in Tokyo, where he was exposed to the French culinary world. Since then, he has been committed to French cuisine all his career. Widely viewed as a talented cook, he never forgets the spirit of innovation, saying "A starred restaurant's mission is to always pursue new tastes in addition to existing ones." His style is to bring out each ingredient's intrinsic tastes as much as possible, by combining the right ingredients and using simple cooking methods that do not alter the ingredients too much.

A penchant for cooking during his elementary school years sparked Terashima's desire to become a professional chef.
Hailing from Hokkaido, Terashima had an interest in food even when he was still in elementary school, and could frequently be found trying out new recipes in the kitchen. In 1992, he opened his own bar, where he was enthusiastic about not only his drinks menu, but also his food menu. After 21 years of managing the bar, he decided to try something new and reopened the bar as Taishuizakaya Nichibei on November 12th, 2014. Terashima's vision for his restaurant is that it will be a place where customers can relax, no matter who they are or what kind of background they have, much like the places he used to visit in Shitamachi in Tokyo, where he lived in his younger years.
