ChefKentarou Nishibuchi - The Encounter of Chinese and Japanese Cuisine, a Fusion of Techniques
Born in Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture. He learned the basics of Chinese cuisine for six years at the Chinese restaurant "Kakan" in the Kyoto Brighton Hotel. After that, he wanted to study Japanese cuisine at the heart of it all in Kyoto, and trained for five years at the kaiseki restaurant "Gion Sasaki." In 2013, he opened "Nishibuchi Hanten" near Yasaka Shrine in Higashiyama, Kyoto. He combines the essence of his Chinese cooking roots with the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine cultivated through his experience, creating a modern take on Kyoto-style Chinese cuisine.
Step into a town house with a white noren curtain on a small street in Higashiyama and discover modern Kyoto-style Chinese cuisine.
Nestled in a quiet alley of Higashiyama, Kyoto, you'll find a charming Chinese restaurant with a touch of traditional Japanese aesthetics. "Nishibuchi Hanten" welcomes guests with an atmosphere remini...scent of a kaiseki restaurant. Surrounded by the serene ambiance of a machiya with a small garden, you can watch as dishes transform before your eyes, filling the air with delightful aromas. Among them, the meticulously cooked and perfectly grilled shark fin is a specialty, enveloped in a refined and rich broth.
Chef Kentaro Nishibuchi, who trained in kaiseki cuisine at "Gion Sasaki," skillfully blends Japanese and bold Chinese techniques to create gentle and delicate modern Kyoto-style Chinese dishes. The fragrant and profound flavors pair beautifully with Shaoxing wine, as well as wine and champagne. Chef Nishibuchi's relentless pursuit of excellence, along with his warm smile, is a significant part of what keeps fans coming back for more.
