ChefChef Akino Kawakami - The Entertainer of Food
Born in 1977 in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. The family business is "Caravan," a beloved local steakhouse established in 1979. After graduating from Fukuoka Culinary School, he initially aspired to become a French chef and honed his skills at the Hotel Okura, but he decided to follow in his father's footsteps. To develop his discerning eye, he worked at a butcher shop and gained experience at "Saga Beef Kiraku Ginza." In 2010, he became the owner-chef of "Caravan." While inheriting his father's vision, he transformed the restaurant into a new style.
Food "New Concept 'Plate Shabu' Melting at the Best Temperature Range on Karatsu Ware"
The first of the three appetizers to be served is the sirloin "sara-shabu." This innovative style involves placing thinly sliced meat on a Karatsu ware plate and cooking it with heat transferred from a hot iron plate. The Karatsu ware used is crafted by the renowned artisan, the 14th generation Nakazato Taroemon, from a kiln that has been in operation for over 420 years in the local area. Chef Kawakami's desire to "elevate Karatsu through the marriage of food and tableware" is also reflected in this dish. First, I want to savor its exquisite umami and smooth texture with just soy sauce, and then try it with wasabi as well.
Food "Savor Saga's Proud Brand Wagyu with an Immersive Teppanyaki Experience"
The course features A5-ranked Saga beef and Imari beef. The finely marbled meat, with its moderate fat and sweetness, is aged to perfection to maximize its flavor. The main steak is cooked at low temperature in the oven and then seared quickly on a 300-degree iron plate, resulting in a crispy exterior and a juicy, tender interior. Continuing the tradition of "Hotel Okura," where Chef Kawakami trained, the use of white pepper in the seasoning further enhances the delicate flavor of the meat.
A "Custom-Made Steakhouse" that instantly understands your preferences and delivers the perfect grill!
The course featuring Saga Beef and Imari Beef begins with three meat appetizers. Chef Akihiro Kawakami meticulously controls the sweetness and fattiness of the meat based on temperature, literally bri...nging out the guests' preferences through these three dishes, which are then reflected in the cooking of the main steak. From a witty and engaging meat lecture to a spectacular flambé performance, this culinary entertainment unfolds right before the guests' eyes on the teppan, captivating many fans who frequently visit Karatsu.
