The beginning of my journey

At the beginning of this wonderful journey, I remember the moment when I fell in love with Japanese gastronomy. As I explored the good old Japanese culture and traditions, I realized the power that food has to bring people together. The dishes, which are a fusion of local ingredients and techniques, stimulated the senses from the moment they touched the palate.

The first time I visited a small food stall, I was enveloped by the scents and sounds of a humid summer night. There, yakitori and fresh vegetables seasoned with a secret sauce were slowly grilled over charcoal, and each bite evoked a sense of well- being and joy. For me, it's great to enjoy a meal with friends I've met in this place where locals gather and talk about secret recipes and cooking methods.
