Chef
As a student of the tea ceremony, owner-chef Hideaki Matsuo was enchanted by the richness and profundity of Japanese culture. He inherited Kashiwaya from his father and the unifying theme in the menu is ‘the tale of the four seasons’. The signature dish of the house is ‘Tilefish marinated with salted, fermented sweet shrimp’, a creation inspired by Hong Kong cuisine. The fare is rich in feeling and bursting with imaginative touches, while paying homage to time-tested tradition.
