Kei

• Modern Cuisine, Creative

​

"Kei" is Kei Kobayashi, a chef born in the Japanese city of Nagano who trained in the prestigious kitchens of three-starred chefs Gilles Goujon (L'Auberge du Vieux Puits, Fontjoncouse) and Alain Ducasse (Plaza Athénée, Paris). His father was a cook in a traditional kaiseki restaurant (where special meals composed of a series of small courses are served – akin to Western haute cuisine), but it was while watching a documentary on French cuisine that his vocation truly became clear. Today, his work verges on perfection: a virtuoso of flavour combinations, always spot on when it comes to presentation on the plate, he gives pride of place to high-quality ingredients.

He never ceases to amaze us with his consistency and that je ne sais quoi that comes from the soul and that he is always able to introduce into his work
