Huaqiu (read as Kakyu in Japanese) is the name of a holy mountain, mentioned in a Chinese book of philosophy, where many fruits grow. The name Kakyu-bou, ‘Kitchen of Mount Huaqiu’, captures the joy of cooking in a spirit of thanksgiving for the foods granted by the gods. As an apprentice, the chef learned that without the basics there can be no application. Accordingly, he searches for innovation while staying within the boundaries of orthodox Chinese cuisine. The appetiser assortment consists of bounty from sea and soil prepared with Chinese techniques. The joy of cooking creates the joy of eating.
