Mineko Kato
Pastry chef of Faro
Mineko Kato works as the pastry chef of FARO, a Michelin Green Star and One Michelin-Star Italian restaurant in Ginza. Having spent time overseas from childhood, she developed her career as a pastry chef in Italy and has been based in Tokyo since 2019. Kato’s most famous work is the Satoyama Tart of Flowers, her creation inspired by a wish to visit different regions of Japan and continue the remarkable culture of satoyama – that space between the areas where people live (sato) and nature’s forests and mountains (yama). Her collaborative menu with Chef MacLean is sure to inspire and amaze.
Yoshinobu Kimura is the Founder and Sommelier of Tokyo’s Sushi M, an intimate 12-seat restaurant serving innovative sushi paired with a rare selection of artisanal sake and wines.
