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.

白石 洋介Yosuke Shiraishi
-
Japanese sake and the stars. A bartender who enjoys and creates what he likes.
Mr. Shiraishi was born in 1977 in Chiba. Because he enjoys making drinks, he came to Tokyo when he was 21 and started walking the path of the bartender. While doing his work, he would feel the appeal of talking to guests over the counter, so he started wanting to open his own restaurant. He devoted himself to his studies and struck out independently when he was 27. He tried to make a restaurant where customers could enjoy a Planetarium, which he always liked, along with drinks, so he opened Planetarium BAR. As the owner, he continues to stand in his bar daily so guests can enjoy a special time.
