MESSAGE
Shintaro Watanabe, who specializes in Western cuisine, is concerned about the future of Japanese sweets.
“Wagashi has high quality, but I would like to explore a new form of wagashi that is different from the past while incorporating Japanese, Western, and Chinese methods,” he said.
Mr. Watanabe says, "I like things that use red bean paste, such as dorayaki and monaka."
“There is an image that Japanese sweets are handmade by craftsmen and are expensive.
To that end, in addition to mechanizing a part of the manufacturing process, we will appeal for reform of the world of craftsmen, which has remained unchanged.
“It is necessary to open up the traditional world of craftsmen and teach young craftsmen properly.
One of the reasons Watanabe wanted to become a chef was a TV drama.
"I felt empathy for him when I saw the Emperor's chef," he said.
Mr. Watanabe, who often visits facilities for people with disabilities and teaches how to make curry and sandwiches,
"I wish I could teach people how to make Japanese sweets that are easy to make, like dorayaki."
Currently, he has moved from a hotel to Foodec Co., Ltd., a food consulting company.
"I wanted to put my experience to work in a different way. I used to be assigned a job at a hotel, but now I have a variety of jobs such as sales and service."She lives an energetic life as a food expert.
