The chef
Chef Julien B was born in Paris. From an early age, he showed a strong interest in cooking and was encouraged by his family to become a chef. He trained in Michelin-starred gourmet restaurants, pursuing a career in haute cuisine. He served as sous-chef at prestigious French establishments such as Le Bristol (3 stars) and Shangri-La (1 star), and honed his foundation in gastronomy at Pavillon Ledoyen (3 stars). As a freelance private chef, he has gained extensive experience cooking for distinguished clients around the world. Fascinated by Japanese culture and cuisine, he decided to move to Japan. He is currently the head chef at “Le Comptoir” in Shibuya, offering a wide range of dishes from traditional French home cooking to refined special courses.
Chef Jimbo was born in Tokyo and had an early and successful career in the publishing and music production industries. In 2001, Jimbo struck out for the West Coast of the United States, where he began working as a manager of a sushi restaurant in Venice Beach, later taking on more duties at a sushi eatery in Hermosa Beach. Not one to remain idle, Jimbo expanded his career to teach Japanese cuisine at the California Sushi Academy and began offering a complete Sushi Bar style catering service in California, Chicago, Las Vegas, Cincinnati and other places.
The service
Le Chef will send their chef to your home with the very best in seasonal fish selected and purchased by the chef directly from the Toyosu Fish Market. Upon arriving at your home, the chef will serve a couple of North American-style sushi rolls, such as California rolls, Wagyu rolls or Philadelphia rolls. Next comes eight pieces of Edo-mae style nigiri sushi using a variety seafood items, such as chutoro (slightly fatty tuna), otoro (fatty tuna), snapper, bonito and other fish. Through consultation with the chef, the menu can be tailored to include high-grade items to suit any taste. If a customer wants only the best otoro, crab and sea urchin, Le Chef can accommodate their desires.
In addition to catering a meal, Jimbo is also available to conduct cooking classes in English to teach people the skills and techniques of sushi. If you are looking for some education along with a delicious meal, Jimbo can also provide a lecture on cooking while cooking for guests.
With about a week’s notice, Le Chef can prepare a night of sushi and conversation for a minimum of 10 guests right in your home. Larger parties, including corporate events for up to 100 people, require a bit more time, but Le Chef is flexible and will work to accommodate your needs as best as they can.
The chef will also provide a top-end junmai daiginjo (the highest quality) sake that has been specially selected to pair perfectly with the meal. In addition to preparing high-quality and delicious food, Le Chef, through consultation with the client, is happy to offer a unique cocktail (or mocktail) created just for your occasion. They can also consult on sake or wines to best complement the food being served.
Le Chef prides itself on flexibility and will work with hosts on menu, price and other details to make the event one that will be remembered by all.
