丸橋 一弥Kazuya Maruhashi
The Chef's Recommendations -
Improved his skills at this restaurant for 24 years.
He was born in 1971 in Saitama. He liked eating since he was small. That was why he used to help his parents with cooking, cook simple dishes by himself, and enjoy touching cooking tools at a soba restaurant run by his friend's parents. Naturally, he decided to be a chef and started working at [Bona Festa] at the age of 19. He kept working there for 24 years, learning the fundamentals of the cooking and techniques of Russian cuisine, then finally became the master chef in 2015. His next goal is to create his own taste while respecting the tradition of the restaurant.
