One Life One Chance - Chef Takashi Miyazaki in Ichigo Ichie

We were so privileged to have this chance to chat with Takashi Miyazaki, just awarded his first Michelin star, recently after opening his new restaurant project in Cork, Ichigo Ichie, where he serves a 12 course kappou style kaiseki service, which gives him an opportunity to elevate his food to high art, with an experimental approach his cuisine and an emphasis on local ingredients.

Miyazaki chatted openly about his childhood, and early memories of food with his grandmother, allowing us unique insight into the workings of this great chef. We also discuss his journey into food, and some of his favourite ingredients like daikon radish, along with some of his uniquely creative approaches to food preparation, such as kombu cured oysters and his 12 day aged tuna.
