I went to
Massa Marittima (GR), to interview the brilliant
Chef Francesco Bracali in his
Restaurant , "Stellato
" by Michelin
, which bears the name of
Family ,
Bracali just reopened, after his tour in Japan
. Francis started the

Japanese super of enthusiastic fans of flavors
Italic in two important
Restaurants , two different
City, part of Group
Suzuya . With great passion for Italian cooking
the Executive Chef of this Group,
Yukio Ishizaki (first photo below),
Restaurants in question other than to make a high
Italian Cuisine level, they also bring a good name
Italian :
"Life is Beautiful" .
Yukio was born in Tokyo
in
1963, he was a boy
16 years old when she first came to work in a kitchen, having obtained all the secrets of the culinary arts of its country
in
1989, came to Italy
, to be precise in
Tuscany, where
four years, gave vent to love everything about our typical, working and learning in several important Local
. Back in Japan
for him was a series of successes, he worked as Chef
and
Manager del noto Ristorante
“Il Giardino” a
Tokyo , ha scritto
Libri di Cucina Italiana , ha partecipato a molte famose trasmissioni televisive, ha organizzato
Galà e
Manifestazioni , meritandosi, anche dall’
Italia , molti autorevoli riconoscimenti come
“Rappresentante della Cucina Italiana in Giappone”; dal

Gruppo Suzuya . Nella filosofia di
Yukio prevale il desiderio di conoscere la
Nostra Cultura per meglio interpretare la
Nostra Cucina , e, appena ha la possibilità, viene spesso in
Italy to visit friends, but especially for the understanding of our dishes and our products, then forward with its preparations, its all this valuable information to their countrymen.
Yukio Ishizaki wanted in Japan
, the
Chef Francesco Bracali, one of the highest expressions of Italian cuisine
high level. Francesco
(you can find the history of the family and
Bracali Local , the archive of this Blog
) has accepted the invitation with great pleasure and was
4 days
Restaurant Nasu-Kogen " (seconda foto sotto) a
Tochigi-Ken Nasu-gun Nasu-machi Yumoto-niibayashi e altri
4 giorni al
“Izu-Kogen” (terza foto sotto) di
Kawana Itoushi Shizuoka-ken . Il primo Ristorante, il
Nasu-Kogen “La vita è Bella” e situato nel magnifico e lussuoso
Resort “Michael Garden Court” , circondato da una lussureggiante vegetazione, e costruito come un vecchio
Maniero di stile
Inglese . Il secondo si trova nei dintorni di
Shizuoka, su una verdeggiante e panoramica collina che guarda il
Mar delle Filippine , the building resembles a large manor house
European Middle Ages. Both
Local are refined and richly furnished, and are attended by a select clientele. The Chef Francesco
Bracali has prepared two lunches and two dinners, with varied menu, in any
Local , doing taste its doors to more than 200
people as a whole. Yukio Ishizaki
speaks very well '
Italian, but spontaneous and interested, was also the cooperation of other Japanese Chef
of the two "kitchen staff" that are understood by skilled professionals, with Francesco
, even with gestures. By all accounts it was a big success with the public who found the Cooking Light
of a great Italian chef Francesco as
Bracali , not only the best flavors of our land, but also the fine art of his hand. Francesco
then dedicated a day to visit the amazing city of Tokyo
and has enjoyed in a traditional
Restaurant, a classic dish of
"Okazu" (home cooking),
"Unadon" (literally : eel bowl), a term is a contraction and simplification tra
“Unagi no Kabayaki” (L’anguilla alla griglia) e
“Donburi” (ciotola di riso) . Un piatto molto sostanzioso, l’anguilla grigliata (
Anguilla Japonica ) posta su una base di riso caldo e ricoperta da una salsa dolce a base di
“Mirin” (Sake dolce per uso di cucina), salsa di soia e zucchero.
Francesco Bracali ha voluto farmi provare alcuni piatti che ha portato in
Giappone e anche altre nuove sue preparazioni. Su consiglio di
Luca Bracali, attento conoscitore di ogni aspetto dei
Vini sia
Italiani che esteri, la degustazione è was accompanied by a young but
"wonderful" bottle of Chateau La Nerthe Cuvée Des Cadettes 2006, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Appellation Contrôlée, an amazing balance between Vines Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
