松田　和憲MATSUDA KAZUNORI

The Chef's Recommendations

Our chef has an excellent command of both traditional techniques and his own unique twists. Every piece of sushi is a little taste of heaven

He was born in 1964 in Shiga prefecture. His parents ran a sushi shop for over 40 years. Taken with the Edo-style techniques and flavors, he often visited Tokyo, and learned the skills of a number of famous restaurants, before fulfilling his desire to open his own restaurant in Gion in 2007. He preserves traditional techniques, letting his signature eggs sit overnight after frying them, and he uses his own tricks to perfect his pickles and boiled-down sake, offering the Matsudaya version of Edo-style sushi. His motto is "make the people of the world smile with sushi". He spent a year in New York and made the best of that experience, and is now a well-respected authority on how to serve foreign customers.

西川　正芳NISHIKAWA MASAYOSHI

Our spirited chef started with a yearning for beautiful, delicious food

He was born in 1975 in Muromachi, Kyoto. His grandfather was a craftsman who painted ceramics in the Yuzen style, and he says, "He'd often take me to restaurants and art galleries when I was young." Having been raised around so many beautiful and delicious things, he longed to become a chef of Kyoto-style cuisine, and after graduating from high school, he headed down that path. He trained at famous restaurants like "Gion Sasaki", worked as head chef of "Warabi no Sato", and in 2008 opened "Gion Nishikawa". His motto is to be open and welcoming, and he serves his guests with a friendy smile and candid voice.
