Camille🍷

Camille, originally from Normandy, embarked on her culinary journey with professional degrees in cuisine. She then chose to specialize in wines, earning a complementary mention in sommellerie. Camille was recognized as the best apprentice of France in 2016. Besides her passion for gastronomy, she also has a keen interest in photography and hiking.

Paul 👨🏻‍🍳

On the other hand, Paul opted to start his culinary career at the age of 16 through a culinary apprenticeship in his hometown near Cognac. He finds joy in exploring the great outdoors, particularly through activities like kayaking and skiing.

Their paths crossed in Bordeaux at Le Chapon Fin, and they went on to work in Michelin-starred restaurants, including Serge Vieira**, Christophe Bacquié***, and Christophe Aribert**

Driven by their passion for gastronomy, Japan was a natural choice for Camille and Paul. They were not only drawn to its culinary scene but also eager to immerse themselves in another culture, discover temples and gardens, and experience the contrasts between bustling cities and abundant nature.
