ChefChef Akinori Kawakami - Food Entertainer
Born in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture in 1977, his family runs the beloved local Steak Caravan, which was founded in 1979. After graduating from Fukuoka Culinary Institute, he initially aimed to become a French cuisine chef and trained at Hotel Okura, but then decided to follow in his father's footsteps. To develop his discerning eye, he worked at a butcher shop and gained experience at Saga Gyu Kira Ginza, before becoming the owner and chef of Caravan in 2010. While inheriting his father's vision, he has transformed the restaurant into a new style.
Food A new concept of "sara-shabu" that melts at the perfect temperature on the Karatsu ware.
The first of the three appetizers is sirloin "sara shabu." This is an innovative style of cooking in which thinly sliced meat is placed on a Karatsu ware and cooked using the heat from the hot plate. The Karatsu ware used is made by Nakazato Tarouemon XIV, a master potter whose local pottery has been in business for over 420 years. It also embodies Chef Kawakami's desire to "liven up Karatsu with the marriage of food and tableware." Try it with just soy sauce first, then with wasabi to enjoy its fine flavor and smooth texture.
Food Enjoy Saga's famous brand of wagyu beef in an exciting teppanyaki setting
The course menu features A5-ranked Saga and Imari beef. This finely textured, moderately marbled and sweet meat is aged to bring out the maximum flavor. The main steak is cooked at low temperature in the oven, then grilled on a 300° hot plate, resulting in a crisp exterior and plump, juicy interior. Following the tradition of Hotel Okura, where Chef Kawakami trained, the white pepper used as a seasoning further enhances the delicate flavor of the meat.
A "custom-made Steak restaurant" that instantly identifies the customer's preferences and determines the optimal cooking method for the steak.
The course, centered around Saga and Imari beef, begins with three meat appetizers. Chef Akinori Kawakami precisely controls the sweetness and fattiness of the meat by changing the temperature, and li
...terally sears the guests' preferences with these three dishes, which are then reflected in the cooking of the main Steak. Many fans are fascinated by the gourmet entertainment that unfolds before the guests' eyes across the hot plate, from a light and witty lecture on meat to a spectacular flambé performance, and are frequent visitors to Karatsu.
