He prepares the caviar himself to ensure just the right degree of saltiness. The combinations of ingredients and sauces change over time, as he tinkers in search of the ideal, and thinks up his menu only after personally checking the quality of ingredients at the market. His wife, Noriko, writes up the menu daily, conveying the chef’s passion.
