A native of the Mount Fuji region, Chef Yoshitaka Takayanagi studied in Japan at the prestigious TSUJI Culinary School and worked throughout his career with great French chefs such as Guy Martin (Grand Vefour***), Yannick Alléno (Pavillon Ledoyen***), and Alain Ducasse (Le Meurice**) where he continued his culinary education and learned the art of haute cuisine.
In harmony with a unique establishment – a Michelin-starred restaurant and theatre – Yoshitaka Takayanagi puts on a show at every service. His cuisine — pure, minimalist, and informed by the seasons — is a tribute to local products he loves and showcases in signature dishes where his Japanese and French influences converge.
