ChefNatsuki Suzuki - Young Fermentation Specialist
Born in Nagano Prefecture, I embarked on my culinary journey at the age of 16. I began my training at a pizzeria in my hometown of Saku City and then traveled alone to Naples to learn authentic Italian cuisine. After that, I honed my skills at renowned establishments in Denmark, such as "noma" and "kadeau," which lead the new Nordic cuisine. In 2020, I opened my restaurant, and within just six months, it was featured in a global restaurant guidebook, gaining significant attention. I am pursuing unique dishes that utilize fermentation techniques based on Italian cuisine.
Food Innovative Cuisine that Sticks to Unique Techniques and Worldview
Not only does Chef Suzuki bring out the inherent flavors of the ingredients, but he also adds new umami derived from the ingredients by utilizing techniques of fermentation and aging. His signature dish, "Reconstructed Beets," involves applying a variety of cooking methods such as roasting, aging, sous-vide, and drying to the same beets, then reassembling them with the addition of fermented extracts. The overwhelming texture that seems to surpass the potential of the beets, along with a new sensation of deliciousness, dances in the mouth.
Others Hidden Specialty Ingredients Nurtured by Shinshu and Karuizawa
Fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as freshwater fish, are carefully selected from the clear air and pure natural water of Karuizawa, which boasts a cool climate even in summer. Chef Suzuki particularly values river fish raised through advanced aquaculture techniques as a unique ingredient of Karuizawa. The selection is diverse, including Shinshu salmon, carp from Saku, yamame (Japanese mountain trout), iwana (Japanese char), and ayu (sweetfish). Notably, the hayabusa (a type of freshwater fish) is rarely used in restaurants. The hayabusa, kept alive in cold natural water until just before cooking, becomes a dish that surprises and impresses.
Innovative Italian Cuisine with Exceptional Karuizawa Ingredients and Nordic Fermentation Techniques. A Burst of Talent and Passion!
A young and innovative chef, who opened his restaurant at just 26, has captivated renowned food enthusiasts, making his limited lunch and dinner seats a hot commodity. With skills honed in Scandinavia..., he utilizes unique fermentation techniques to create astonishing flavors without heavily relying on seasonings or animal fats.
One of his signature dishes, Shinshu Salmon, features aged and smoked fish paired with fermented turnips, served with a sauce infused with seasonal fruit aromas. The courses, filled with talent and passion, are truly impressive.
