      In the past 2 years I started checking out "fine dining" restaurants in my area and most of them had the kitchen visible or party visible and none of it looked particularly stressed and for sure I have never heard anybody shout. It was always more or less like shown in this video. So at least from my little experience that kitchen = super stressed and cruel place, is kind of a media thing.

It's really impressive how he and his team manage to be faithful to the classical cuisine all the while innovating and incorporating other culinary traditions, truly exceptional skills, bravo ! A side note for Eater, he did not say "cool bouillon" but "court bouillon" which is a bouillon/broth you can make quickly (court means short) using herbs and veggies.

I have not dined at either, but this video does a great job at explaining how or why one would fuse the two cuisines. Long ago I used to hate the idea of fusion.

    I feel like this restaurant was a huge inspiration for Food Wars. Shinomiya the Japanese chef who opens a Michelin star French restaurant. And the several dishes like a suppon turtle, the pie with a spinach wrap to keep the flavors in, lots of innovative French dishes with Japanese influences like the show

    As I was watching this I thought the chef looked familiar. It turns out he previously was the head chef at a restaurant on my street. Went there quite a few times when it first opened. Very nice guy, unusual menu. I hope to see him again soon.

      Had dinner at the restaurant, and had a wonderful time. The food was very good, the wine and sake pairings were terrific, and the staff could not have been nicer. It was great seeing Chef Yuu again; he’s an absolute sweetheart, and I’m so happy he’s doing well.

    Le mélange des cultures c’est l’âme même de la France et de sa gastronomie. Quoi de mieux qu’un repas pour apprendre à se connaître?. Il est donc normal que cette philosophie se retrouve dans la gastronomie.

    The "marriage" of French and Japanese cuisine is NOTHING new. The execution of balancing the 2 though, is highly technical and the chef here is an amazing example of how you make it it work with his own flare.
