New Japanese cuisine
As a leading expert in “new Japanese cuisine” that maximizes the flavour of the ingredients, he participated in the World Gourmet Summit twice in a row in 2010 and 2012 as a representative of Japan.
Currently, as a Japanese Master Chef, Hal Yamashita actively introduces Japan to the world through Japanese food culture, customs, food ingredients, and agricultural products.
