Attended by a coterie of apprentices, Hideki Ishikawa never forgets the mindset of constant study. He visits producing regions, returning with the most outstanding foods. Each dish contains no more than two main ingredients. With unobtrusive technique, Ishikawa expresses the quality of his fare with flavours of elegant simplicity, pursuing the true character of Japanese cuisine. In so doing, he reminds us of the bounty of nature and respect for ingredients.
