ChefMr. Sanshiro Okada - Actively Exploring Unknown Frontier Cuisine
Born in 1980. He worked as a second chef for six years at the prestigious "Kokushin," which is said to have created a new school of "avant-garde, aggressive Chinese cuisine" in the Kansai region. He also worked at the now-defunct pioneering natural wine restaurant "Bistro à Vandaigaku," deepening his knowledge of wine. In 2014, he opened "Gessei" in Nishitenma. He continues to frequently visit remote areas of mainland China, energetically exploring unknown regional and local dishes. He passionately seeks to absorb and apply new culinary knowledge.
Food "Deconstructing and Reconstructing: Vibrantly Originalizing Classic Dishes"
"The uniqueness is the most important thing," says owner-chef Michihiro Okada. With a passion for rethinking each step of classic cuisine to create new perspectives and attractions, he incorporates elements such as a five-day aged vegetable broth for his "saliva chicken" and draws inspiration from the tempering of chocolate used in Sachertorte for his sweet and sour pork, expressing a complexity and diversity of flavors that far exceed imagination. His remarkable artistry continues to grow more enchanting each day.
SpaceSimple and Refreshing: 2000 Bottles of Natural Wine Aging
In the calm streets of Nishitenma, a simple interior blends seamlessly. Despite its unpretentious atmosphere, the attention to detail is evident in the high-quality plaster walls and the 1950s Chinese antique lighting, which connects beautifully with the cuisine. The selection of tableware, ranging from contemporary artists to ancient Kutani ceramics, is also exceptional. Additionally, the collection of aged natural wines, including Langlois, with about 2,000 bottles stored on a separate floor, has become one of the delights for fans who visit this shop from all over the country.
A beautiful drama of aroma and flavor in every bite. Avant-garde Chinese cuisine that updates daily.
Smoked striped jack marinated in jasmine tea, shrimp taro cooked in clear broth with a hint of chili, and low-temperature steamed foie gras soaked in Shaoxing wine... These unique dishes, based on Chi...nese cuisine and incorporating elements from Japanese and Western recipes, are celebrated for their groundbreaking imagination, marking a completely new frontier in Chinese culinary arts. Each bite offers a sensory drama of aroma and flavor that transcends expectations, powerfully expanding the possibilities of Chinese cuisine.
