地産地消ではなく、すべて知人のものを扱う

“キロメートルゼロ”のテストキッチン

地域の伝統料理や食材の豊かさを伝えていく

古くから伝わる伝統料理。

一世代後には作る人がいなくなり、三世代後には写真しかなくなる。

古代遺跡は千年前の物が今も見る事が出来る。

伝統料理も歴史もそうあるべきだと考えます。

伝統料理に敬意を払い、現代の私達が伝統技法を使い

「自分達なりの解釈で、自分達なりの表現方法」

で伝統料理を作る事により

多くの方が伝統料理を知るきっかけになればいいなと思っています。

テストキッチンのある知多半島にはシーズン問わず食材が豊富な地域です。

この自然の恵みを忘れずに、私たち人間は地球上の食材を齧って生きている

後世にもこの豊富な食材が残るよう、「目の前にある食材」を大切にしていきます。

Conveying the Richness of Regional Traditional Cuisine and Ingredients

Traditional cuisine passed down through generations.

In one generation, there may be no one left to cook it.
In three generations, only photographs may remain.

Ancient ruins from a thousand years ago can still be seen today.
Traditional cuisine and history should be preserved in the same way.

By respecting traditional dishes and utilizing age-old techniques,
we can reinterpret and express them in our own way.

Through this approach, we hope more people will have the opportunity
to discover and appreciate traditional cuisine.

The Chita Peninsula, where our test kitchen is located,
is a region blessed with an abundance of ingredients throughout the year.

We must never forget the blessings of nature.
As humans, we sustain ourselves by consuming the resources of this planet.

To ensure that future generations can enjoy the same abundance,
we will cherish the ingredients available to us today.
