Bridging Japanese Tradition and French Artistry through Dashi

Kayanoya’s mission to preserve and share Japan’s culinary heritage found a kindred spirit in Chef David Bouley, whose career embodies the artistry and discipline of French cuisine.

Drawn by the purity and depth of Kayanoya’s dashi, Chef Bouley traveled to Kyushu, where tradition and innovation coexist in harmony.

Together, we explored how umami can transcend cultural boundaries—merging the essence of Japanese dashi with the refined techniques of French gastronomy to create something timeless and new.
