He has continued to achieve great things and gain experience since then.

國田 健KUNITA TAKESHI

A missionary for legitimate Italian cuisine He fell for fresh pasta and chose the path of Italian food

After working in a French restaurant, he was taken to an Italian restaurant by an associate and ate fresh pasta for the first time. He got an incredible shock and, his heart brimming with a desire to learn more, he started learning about Italian cuisine. Crossing over to Italy by himself, his self-confidence, built over a 10 year career, was shattered by the deliciousness of the food made for him by a local old lady, so he started a study of the fundamental importance of making food well. Without purposely pushing to make things different, he tries new techniques and brings in new sensations daily, even as he sticks to the methods of orthodox Italian, all to continue delivering the joy of Italian food.
