GRIS: THE ZEN OF FUSION
Signatures
In the third episode of Signatures, we play the art of cuisine and the art of eye contact. We encounter a chef Shusaku Toba from restaurant Gris in Yoyogiuehara, Tokyo. Shusaku is absolutely one of the people born with a twist. The dishes he makes are colorful and appealing to our instinct. Meet Shusaku and his extraordinary story, while two eyes are crossing by.
