S2 Ep11: Mise En Place - Chef Masaki of Dinings SW3 - The Brutality of Japanese Kitchens - Teaching Cornish Fishermen Ikejime & Learning From Chef Nobu on How To Master Modern Japanese Food!

Welcome back to another episode of Mise En Place and today we're in Chelsea sitting down for an absolutely stunning meal with Chef Masaki Sugisaki at his restaurant Dinings SW3. He's on incredible form as he takes us through his journey from; working as a child for his dad at the family restaurant in the early hours of each day, to moving to London and being disgusted by the state of Japanese food, to eventually becoming Chef Nobu's protégé and putting his learnings into creating arguably the greatest Japanese restaurant in Europe. We also discuss the brutality and hierarchy of a Japanese kitchen, why he fell out of love with the food scene in Japan, how he's improved the level of fish quality in this country by teaching fishermen the ancient Japanese method of Ikejime and takes us through why the Japanese eat KFC for Christmas and love chicken sashimi plus much much more..... ------------ https://www.diningssw3.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
