Chef Daisuke Nomura

CHEF

Daisuke Nomura

DAISUKE NOMURA

Chef Daisuke Nomura earned two Michelin stars while serving as the third-generation head chef of Daigo, one of Tokyo’s renowned shojin cuisine restaurants, before opening SOUGO.

Drawing on the philosophy of shojin cuisine passed down since the 13th century—a respect and compassion for all life—he reinterprets this tradition through a contemporary sensibility in his approach to “Wellness Kaiseki.” By embracing the principles of the Five Flavors, Five Colors, and Five Methods of shojin cuisine, he presents a new world of shojin cuisine through Mibyo gastronomy that is both visually beautiful and mindful of the body.

CHEF’S TABLE DINNER

A New Expression of Shojin Gastronomy That Reveals the Essence of Eating

Using seasonal ingredients from Awaji Island, Chef Nomura personally presents each dish while sharing the stories behind the ingredients and their producers, the philosophy of shojin cuisine, cooking techniques, and their relationship to well-being. Through experiences such as comparing shojin cuisine with conventional cuisine and a “silent dining experience” designed to heighten the senses and focus attention on each dish, guests are invited to rediscover their connection with ingredients, producers, nature, and their own bodies.
