The Path I've Taken
Chef Nobu Kobayashi
I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan.
I embarked on my culinary journey in Tokyo, honing my skills at kaiseki restaurant. Despite the demanding hours, standing through the day, and meager pay common in the rigorous world of Japanese cuisine, I embraced the challenge, driven by a passion that set me apart in a field where few dared to tread.
After mastering the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine, I assumed the role of head chef across various U.S. restaurants. Upon accumulating two decades of expertise, I transitioned into a Japanese restaurant consultant chef,lending my insights from East to West Coast. Beyond U.S. borders, my culinary exploration led me to diverse locales like Barcelona-Spain, Rome-Italy, Gocek-Turkey, Hangzhou-China, Seoul-South Korea, Tokyo-Japan, and Djibouti-East Africa.
Sampling local delicacies enriched my culinary journey, offering invaluable experiences. Committed to preserving the essence of Japanese cuisine, I aim to share its wonders globally, drawing from my extensive international encounters. My services are Japanese restaurant consulting by Japanese chef, but also by any kind of restaurant that wants to offer Japanese cuisine.
What does cooking mean to me?
The food holds a special place in my life. Looking back, during my childhood, I often had to eat meals alone due to family circumstances, which sometimes made me feel lonely. However, even in such a household environment. I remember how delicious food would instantly lift my spirits and make me happy. Occasionally, when I had the opportunity to share meals with family or friends, it was always enjoyable and delicious food made those moments even more memorable.
I love traveling over the years, I have visited many countries and cities including for work. Experiencing different, cultures, and cuisines that those of my native Japan has been incredibly stimulating. I cannot imagine how much these experiences have enriched my life as a chef. Each region offers unique ingredients such as locally grown vegetables, seafood, livestock, and seasonings that varying from country to country. Incorporating these ingredients into Japanese cuisine is not only enjoyable but also exiting.
