As a boy, Chef Kenichi Nemoto was an enthusiastic angler, and seafood is the focus of the prix fixe menus he arranges. To ensure variety, Nemoto varies his preparation styles: frites, soups, butter roasting, and so on. In gratitude to the natural world of sea and mountain where he encounters his ingredients, he wastes nothing. The chef is earnest in his relations with producers, such as building bonds of trust with the fishermen of Shimoda.
