ChefTomoya Kawada - Bringing New Life to Chinese Cuisine with the Spirit of Harmony
Born in 1982 and hailing from Tochigi Prefecture, I have been captivated by Sichuan cuisine since childhood and aspired to become a chef at a young age. I honed my skills at the renowned Chinese restaurant "Azabu Chōkō," dedicating ten years to mastering Chinese cuisine. After that, I moved to the Japanese restaurant "Ryugin" to elevate authentic flavors into dishes that harmonize with Japanese ingredients, climate, and preferences. I refined my skills and spirit in Japanese techniques and opened "Chazenka" in 2017. Utilizing my extensive knowledge of Chinese tea, I offer innovative dishes paired with carefully selected teas.
Food"Challenging New Frontiers in Chinese Cuisine: A Simple Yet Beautiful Masterpiece"
The seasonal enjoyment course is inspired by conversations with guests, allowing for creative arrangements of the dishes. You can savor the talent of Chef Kawada, who is well-versed in Japanese culinary techniques, through perfectly grilled charcoal dishes that showcase the quality of the ingredients and the beautifully clear golden broth of the soup. What stands out the most is the delightful variety of dishes served with a pleasant rhythm, paired with carefully selected Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese teas that emphasize temperature and extraction methods. Many guests come to experience the lingering bliss of a well-paired cup.
Space"Refined Modern Space in Minami-Azabu: Enjoying the Mixture of Japanese and Chinese Elements"
Nestled in a corner of a residential area away from the hustle and bustle, stands a magnificent house that has been renovated from an embassy residence. As you step into this extraordinary space through the lush bamboo grove, a classical modern world unfolds before you. The carefully selected plates, jars, and tea utensils, chosen with consideration for their compatibility with the cuisine, are elegantly arranged, creating a refreshing atmosphere. The bamboo grove outside the window adds a touch of gentleness to the space. Beautiful furnishings, such as antique tables that stimulate the senses, are also part of the charm of this establishment.
