The nascent “Ventario” is headed by Chef Vincent Wang, a Mauritian, multiethnic and culturally diverse chef who has worked as a chef in Japan, Indonesia, Morocco and more (Vincent Wan).
Vincent’s culinary philosophy is “food for life”. “Food and culture are vital to our survival, the two are closely related, and food culture tells the story of where we come from,” Vincent said. He added: “Every dish is created with the hard work of many people and the blessing of local culture and environment. But on the other hand, in the catering industry, we cannot ignore the fact that a lot of food is wasted. “In order to solve this problem, we changed from a buffet form to a prefix set meal, and actively used non-standard vegetables. We are actively implementing initiatives to reduce food loss, eg. In addition, with “in the purchasing department team, we also focus on sourcing sustainable raw materials. I believe this is due to the efforts of producers who are passionate about this,” he continues.
At “Ventario”, we aim to provide “sustainable food” and create a variety of dishes that combine inspiration from food cultures around the world with seasonal ingredients from selected producers all over Japan. For example, an appetizer inspired by laksa, which is popular in Southeast Asia, uses octopus from Hokkaido and sea bass from Chiba Prefecture, France, from producers who promote sustainable development of marine resources and fisheries. Dishes that combine “sustainable development”, “local cuisine” and “food culture from around the world”, such as main dishes prepared using teriyaki (steaming), one of the representative cooking methods. I am coming.
At “Ventario”, lunch and dinner are available as pre-courses or à la carte.prefix
You can choose 3 kinds of your favorite appetizers as a set meal, and you can enjoy it in different ways according to your taste.
Vincent and his team weave a variety of free and exquisite dishes, respecting every food culture, but not bound by the framework, please enjoy a “food journey” that meets and touches.
