Head Chef of Nishimuraya Etsunobu Takahashi
The moment of placing the cuisine on an elegant serving vessel is an unparalleled happiness as a chef. Nishimuraya Honkan's atmosphere, complimented by its sukiya-style architecture, gives the impression of traveling back in time to a more relaxed era, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life. I hope you will discover & experience Japanese culture through the continually evolving history of the cuisine of the Tajima region.
After a long and famed career in traditional Japanese cuisine and restaurants, Etsunobu Takahashi joined Nishimuraya Honkan as its head chef in 2000. In 2005 he assumed the further role of general head chef after taking over the head chef responsibilities for Honkan’s sister property, Nishimuraya Shogetsutei.
Chef Takahashi has carried on his culinary achievements while at Nishimuraya, recently collaborating with Michelin chef Herve Busset in France in 2011 and producing Japan Airline’s domestic first class menu in 2012.
