How would you describe your culinary philosophy?

Over time, I’ve learned to put less on the plate. I focus on the quality and seasonality of ingredients, embracing the idea that less is more.

What is your current culinary obsession?

Japanese cuisine, always. My first trip to Japan in 2019 changed everything. I now go once or twice a year—it helps me refine my palate and stay grounded.

What are your sources of inspiration?

I’m inspired by the simple principle of time. We celebrate the beauty and rhythm of slow cooking—the process, the patience, and the pleasure it brings.

What is the greatest lesson you have learnt in or outside the kitchen?

Realizing there are no strict rules in cooking has been liberating. That freedom is what allows me to create many of my signature dishes.

What is your greatest achievement?

Becoming the first and only carbon-neutral restaurant. Sustainability drives our daily choices—from sourcing to operations—and defines who we are.

Can you describe your first sip of Krug?

It was New Year’s Eve, and a friend surprised me with a bottle of Krug. That first sip was magical—rich, layered, and unforgettable. It made the midnight toast feel like something truly special.

When is your favorite time to enjoy Krug?

Krug marks the big moments—promotions, milestones, personal wins. It’s my go-to gift to celebrate success with loved ones, and it’s always received with joy.
