Born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1982, Kawada’s love for food began at an early age, with a particular fondness for white rice. By the time he was in elementary school, he had already decided to pursue a career as a chef of Japanese cuisine. Eager to learn, he began working at local restaurants from when he was in high school.
