MTG Announces Two New Restaurants for 'MTG PARK'

株式会社MTG (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi; President: Tsuyoshi Matsushita) has announced the opening of two new restaurants within 'MTG PARK,' a complex currently under development in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya: 'ROKETSU,' a kaiseki and kappo restaurant, and 'SANKA,' an innovative French restaurant.

■ Kaiseki/Kappo 'ROKETSU'
With the motto of sharing the art of Japanese food culture and enriching both mind and body, the restaurant aims to pursue the essence of Japanese cuisine by bringing the name 'Roketsu'—bestowed by the master—to the land of Atsuta and by honoring the spirit of preserving the life of the ingredients.

Daisuke Hayashi
Hayashi began his apprenticeship at 18 under Yoshihiro Murata, the 3rd-generation owner of the Kyoto ryotei 'Kikunoi,' founded in 1912. In 2004, he participated in the opening of Kikunoi's Akasaka branch as sous-chef. Later, he served as the head chef for Japanese cuisine at the Hokkaido Toyako Summit. With a mission to promote Japanese food culture, he moved to Europe in 2009. He was appointed a 'Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine' by the Japanese government in 2018. He has served as the head chef for Japanese cuisine at numerous international conferences, including the Tokyo International Conference on African Development and the Davos Forum, and received the 'Award for Contribution to the Overseas Promotion of Japanese Cuisine' in 2020. Since 2016, he has supervised Japanese inflight meals for JAL's European flights, reforming their inflight dining experience.

■ Innovative French 'SANKA'
Each dish, filled with vitality and created by chef Yoshiki Komi, who embodies the next generation through solid values, plays a beautiful story in a special space.

'SANKA' embodies the meaning of a 'song of gratitude to the rich nature that brings blessings.' Chef Komi transforms unknown local ingredients, through deep dialogue and collaboration with producers, into dishes overflowing with life, using rich, creative ideas unbound by the framework of French cuisine and delicate techniques.

Yoshiki Komi
Komi gained experience at the 2-star French restaurant 'LA TABLE de Franck Putelat' and the pinnacle of French dining, 'La Table de Joël Robuchon.' He served as sous-chef at 'Coteau,' a restaurant selected among the 'Top 100 French Restaurants,' and as head chef for fine dining at the membership-based restaurant and hotel 'LES CINQ SENS' in Nagasaki.

Further information regarding each restaurant's details, offerings, and reservation methods will be announced sequentially.
