is a Japanese chef and owner of the two-Michelin star restaurant Les Créations de Narisawa in Minato, Tokyo, Japan.[1]
Narisawa was born in Aichi prefecture in 1969 to a baker and western sweets maker. He travelled to Europe at the age of 19, and trained in France, Switzerland, and Italy, before returning to Japan in 1996.[1]
In 1996, Narisawa opened a restaurant in Odawara, Kanagawa.[1] In 2003, Narisawa moved to Tokyo and opened the restaurant "Les Créations de Narisawa" in Aoyama, renaming it Narisawa in 2011. Restaurant Narisawa was ranked #20 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2009,[2] and has consistently ranked in the top 30 since. Its current ranking in 2017 is #18.[3] He has built his fame on promoting organic and natural ingredients as a part of Japanese cuisine, saying, “Most of the vegetables and fruit in Japan contain pesticides. It’s the role of the chef to support (organic) producers.” [4] Accordingly, Restaurant Narisawa received the inaugural Sustainable Restaurant Award from Restaurant Magazine, after an audit by the Sustainable Restaurant Association.[5]
In 2018, Narisawa appeared as a guest judge on the "Japan" episode of The Final Table, season 1.
