But what makes your Enbu experience different?

Speaking to THEPHILBIZNEWS during the exclusive media preview lunch last January 16 at Enbu, Okada Manila, Chef Yoshihiro Sugiyama said that he thought of bringing in Kushiyaki in the Philippines to give us another side of Japanese tradition that is exciting and different.

“I am sure many Filipinos and even foreigners living in the Philippines are very familiar with the various Japanese cuisine. But with Kushiyaki experience is very different, it is very theatrical,” Chef Sugiyama explained.

“We only use fresh and quality ingredients. We have ingredients that are freshly brought in from Japan to the refined milieu inspired by Nihon kenchiku or Japanese architecture, to the savory grilled specialties such as robatayaki and kushiyaki. And every meal at Enbu is meant to be a sure delight.

The Kyoto trained chef added that he wants the new Enbu to be youthful, casual, relaxed, and fun, compared with the other fine dining restaurants at Okada Manila property.

“So whether our guests come to dine as family, group of friends, business partners or co-workers, Enbu will make their dining experience unforgettable and more relaxed,” Chef Sugiyama added.

“We have the best view of Okada Manila’s giant dancing fountain, the beautiful authentic 2,160 red chochin (Japanese) lanterns imported from Japan and also function room for those who want privacy. This is one thing one can expect from Enbu, we will make your experience delightful, truly unforgettable and guaranteed that the food you will eat at Enbu will titillate your palate and will provide you the full sensory experience,” the Enbu’s Chef De Cuisine brandished.

Interestingly, Chef Yoshihiro Sugiyama’s family owned a restaurant and fish shop. Chef Sugiyama then learned to know the world surrounded by the aromas and tastes of various ingredients. It also helped that he often
watched other people cook, piquing his interest in the culinary arts.

His love for Japanese cuisine blossomed as he was growing up in the streets of Shizuoka and this developed and led him to work in the kitchens of notable restaurants in Kyoto until he finally found his way to Okada Manila as Enbu’s Chef De Cuisine.

The Robatayaki is a method of cooking which literally translates to “fireside-cooking” characterized by grilling food over hot charcoal at varying speeds. Kushiyaki, is derived from the words “Kushi” which means skewer and “yaki” meaning grill.
