Excerpt from a message from Chef Natsuko Shoji:
Such a honor to be the WOMEN on the FRONTIER.
The moderator asked me on the stage, "What motivates you to be active and creative beyond the culinary world?” I believe that the culinary world is the same as art, and that we chefs are creating masterpieces, the art of eating. There is a shortage of people to carry on this work, so my motivation is to save the producers, our craftsmen, and the future of beautiful food through activities that transcend boundaries.

I am also grateful to the staff, our parents, family , our customers, and all the people who support every event, and I deserved this trophy on behalf of all of them. Thank you,thank you!!
