Alexis MOKO is the chef/owner of a beautiful restaurant in a large converted Machiya townhouse in Marutamachi, Kyoto. In his second year of business, he has received a Michelin star. It seems like a good start, but it is only just beginning to come through the tunnel of trials and tribulations brought on by the pandemic storm.
Chef Iguchi has an excellent perspective that allows him to combine and balance flavours, textures, temperatures and changes over time. When working as a chef in a restaurant where creative skills are supposed to be the main theme, they can be blurred by factors that seep in from various expected angles.
