ChefKouji Kobayashi: A Resilient Chef Who Upholds Originality

Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1958. Obtained a chef's license while still in university. At the age of 26, opened an Italian restaurant in Nagoya. It became a popular establishment but closed after three years, leading to a trip to Italy in 1989. In Umbria, he became the head chef at "Ristorante Vissani" after a year and a half. After returning to Japan, he opened "Folliorina della Porta Fortuna" in Nakameguro in 2002. He relocated to Karuizawa in 2011. Fearless of solitude and committed to his own principles, he is truly an indomitable and resilient chef.

SpaceA Ristorante Standing in the Mountains of Karuizawa: Savoring the Extraordinary Experience

The interior of the restaurant, furnished with a薪ストーブ (wood stove) and aライティングデスク (writing desk), evokes a sense of touch and warmth. Outside the window, the vibrant greens and snow-dusted forests create seasonal landscapes, adding a unique atmosphere that enhances the dishes. The main table can accommodate up to four guests and is the only room available, designed for an extraordinary experience. Typically, this special place is reserved for one group of guests per day, but during the summer, it changes its name to "アルベリーニ" (Alberini) and opens the terrace for a casual lunch.

Food "A Dish That Showcases Uncompromising Commitment and the Pinnacle of Flavor"

Gently placed on a special table limited to one group per day is the menu handwritten by the chef himself. On some days, ingredients such as pigeon and guinea fowl eggs, wild asparagus, and other unique items come together on that paper, representing a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience. The dishes, crafted with the skills and sensibilities honed in renowned Italian restaurants, offer artistic and vibrant flavors. The charm of this restaurant lies in the fact that Mr. Kobayashi himself carefully explains each dish, allowing guests to savor the food on a deeper level.
