COVID-19 Transforms
the Value of Food andFood Business Models
The global pandemic caused by the novel
coronavirus is disrupting people's health,everyday life, and business activities, all at once.
It is also impacting the environment surrounding
food in various ways.
The “second wave” of novel coronavirus infection
has really arrived in Europe (as of October 18).
It's lunchtime at home while you're working
remotely. You have to prepare documents in timefor your next online meeting. You're hungry, but
you don't have time to cook. You can't face yet
another convenience store boxed lunch. So youboot up a food delivery app. All kinds of menus
are lined up for you. You order a meal you fancy
straight away, and the payment is settled too. All
you have to do now is wait about 30 minutes fordelivery. In the meantime, you get back to work.
Until now, that kind of behavior has been the
exclusive preserve of the young people called"digital natives", but the novel coronavirus crisis
is changing all that. In households overstretchedby remote working and child raising, generationsof people who thought ordering from an app
was too much for them are starting to getdrawn in. Now, they have multiple food delivery
and Net supermarket apps lined up on theirsmartphones. They're also using Amazon much
more frequently.
What does it all mean for the food service
industry? Countermeasures against novel
coronavirus infection are making it tough forrestaurants to serve meals on the premises,
so they're forced to look outside for sales
opportunities. Food delivery was a growth field
before, and delivery-only restaurants were
becoming more numerous.

Now that the novel coronavirus is raising the
profile of food delivery, the restaurant industry
is connecting its front and back facilities to somekind of platform, such as by handling deliveriesout front while it provides shared kitchens in theback, to stay in business. This kind of trend is also
accelerating the digitalization of the restaurant
industry. Besides operating in their local areas,
restaurants now have to evolve into places thatwill be picked by people on their smartphones.

There is now a trend towards the unbundling ofrestaurant functions that have been clustered in
one place until now. Bars and restaurants havealways bundled the functions of ingredients,
chefs, recipes, cooking, premises, and customers
together in one place, and their services did notwork until that concentration was achieved.
That's being broken down with the arrival of
platforms that can link individual places together.
Food delivery platforms break down the menusof individual restaurants, so that people couldorder, for example, soup from restaurant A, themain dish from restaurant B, and dessert fromrestaurant C. That's the same style as how wealready do our shopping on Amazon.
The current novel coronavirus crisis is resetting
the entire food system, and promoting further
redefinition of the value of food.

Different
Spaceswithin One
Restaurant
entle is built on two levels,
ground floor and basement,
which are used to house
Mediterranean dining anda sushi bar within one
restaurant. The Mediterranean dining
area is an elegant, high-ceilinged space,and its terrace seating is particularly
pleasant, with a wide-open feel. It's aplace for diners to take their time over
Mediterranean cuisine that is basedon Italian but weaves in the essencesof Spanish, Greek, and other regional
cuisines. The first floor also has a bar
counter that's a good place to meetup with people. The sushi bar in thebasement is a little hideaway place with16 counter seats.

What do you want diners at Gentle to feel andexperience?
I want to make Gentle a restaurant that's rooted
in the community and loved by local people.
The character of our location, in Omotesando,brings in all kinds of customers, and we wantthem to use Gentle for all kinds of situations,combined with diverse cuisine. Gentle is theflagship branch of our Hotel Division for foodand beverage content, and we want diners tofeel our concept of "just five degrees higher thanusual". To that end, we want them to enjoy thedecor, the background music, the service, andeverything else, not just the food.
What are your recommendations for lunch anddinner?
Lunch
Our standard course gives the diner a sense of
Gentle's world view. We want them to enjoy thefeeling of choosing and sampling everythingfrom appetizers through the main course todessert, on a prix fixe basis.
DinnerThis is an a la carte menu thatchanges every month.
We gather in-season
ingredients fromtrusted, contracted
farmers and fishingports, and assemble
them into seasonal a
la carte cuisine, which
I recommend.

What beverages do you offer?
We serve many varieties of herb tea and coffee,
but I particularly recommend our sommelierselected list of 150 wines. We have sushi as wellas the dining area, so we are always brining in
new wines to complement the diverse food.
Please discuss wines to suit your taste with oursommelier.
What is your greatest concern as a chef?
Omotesando is the kind of place where allkinds of people come in, and we want them toenjoy their experience with a sense of freedom,
unbound by frameworks. That's why our mix ofdishes incorporates the flavors of Italy, Spain,
Greece, and other countries which face theMediterranean.
What's your perspective on hospitality?
I want dishes that I put my heart into to enrich
the hearts of others. I aim to serve meals so thatpeople who dine at Gentle will feel that theirtime here was something special.
Chef Masamichi Adachi,
native of Sendai, is in charge of Mediterranean
dining. Wanting to work in a French restaurant
from the age of 15, he worked for 10 years assous chef in the French cuisine departmentof a hotel after attending chef school. He
strengthened his foundational skills by trying
out new genres, such as Nouvelle Chinois,and became head chef of the dining divisionof Gentle in September 2020.

Many foreign chefs are pursuing theircareers in Japan. Tokyo has twice as
many Michelin-starred restaurants as
Paris, and for foreign chefs, Tokyo's
culinary scene, which is more dynamic
and innovative than anywhere elsein the world, makes it an attractive
destination and a worthwhile challenge.
We talked to young chef Coleman Griffin,
who came to Japan in pursuit of thatkind of great ambition.

Can you briefly introduce yourself?
I am a Los Angeles native, and started cooking
in high school at Melisse restaurant in Santa
Monica. When I was eighteen, I moved to
Napa Valley to attend the Culinary Instituteof America. Being in Napa Valley, you havethe opportunity to experience wine and foodculture at a high level. Learning about quality
produce and a seasonal approach was truly
a transformative experience. Post graduation
I spent 8 years working in the Northern
California region at acclaimed establishments
The Restaurant at Meadowood and Benu.
Which restaurant did you start to work inJapan?
I came to Tokyo to work at restaurant INUA;
now temporarily closed due to COVID-19.
Can you let us know more about INUA andyour experience there?
The bounty of nature provided the inspirationfor everything that we did at INUA. Because of
the defined seasons in Japan, we had accessto an exciting range of produce throughout theyear. Products came from the mountainous
regions of the North and subtropical regionsof the South; and everywhere in between.
Working with Chef Thomas Frebel exposed
me to a new and unique of cooking, I am very
thankful for the time I spent there.

What inspired you mostworking in Tokyo?
I think the attention todetail and dedication tocraft is unparalleled. Seeing this in person is truly
inspiring.
What kind of dishes do you want to explore andcreate in future?
Since INUA’s closure, I have started a popup series
exploring Japanese ingredients in a fun andinventive way. It’s called Natoma and will be mymain focus now.
What does “omotenashi” (hospitality) mean toyou?
Ometenashi is an opportunity to experiencesomething special. Whether it be sadou, kaisekiryori or omiokuri. These types of experiences
are unique to Japan and are the essence ofomotenashi.
Please tell us about your future plans and goals.
My current popup project Natoma will beappearing in Tokyo in various locations. I’ll beannouncing the events online. My goal is to learn
more about Japanese products and give guests a
unique dining experience.

日本酒 | Sake

What is Sake?

Japanese sake is brewed by a unique method, from its raw materials ofJapanese water, rice, and rice koji (malted rice). It is regarded as“Kokushu”, a national drink of Japan, for its deep connection to traditional
culture.

WATER

RICE

Sake consists of 80% water. The mineralcontent of the water influences thegrowth of the koji mold and yeast, so theflavor of the sake will change dependingon the water used. Since water quality
also affects the feeling in the mouth, goodwater is essential.

Sake rice is rice that is especiallysuitable for making sake. Each grain
has a milk white shimpaku (core of
starch) in the center. The degree of
how much the surface of the rice ispolished away has an important effecton the character of the sake.

Fermented Beverages
Sake is in the same category of fermented liquor as wine and beer. Fermented beverages arealcoholic drinks made when yeast ferments alcohol from the agricultural crops used. That
fermentation process differs for each type of drink.
For beer, the saccharification and fermentation happen separately. For wine, thesaccharification is unnecessary because the base ingredient contains sugar. The uniquecharacteristic of sake is that it uses a sophisticated production method called multiple parallel
fermentation. Saccharification and fermentation happen at the same time.

Production Method

KOJI MOLDAND YEAST

Moromi is the fermenting mash that
becomes the undiluted sake anddetermines the character of the sake.
Brewing alcohol is sometimes added tothis moromi. It brings out aromas in thesake and smoothens the flavor.

The koji mold, which is the basis forthe koji, converts the rice’s starches
into sugar (glucose). The yeast
ferments the glucose into alcohol andcarbon dioxide. Both are cornerstonesof sake that influence the flavor andaroma of the final product.

Heated wine and beer drinks containing fruit and spices are well known, but sake is anotherbeverage that can be drunk warmed. In fact, it can be enjoyed at a wide range oftemperatures. Each temperature has a different name, and unique aspects of the same sakecan be enjoyed at different temperatures.

Sake and washoku (Japanese food) pair wonderfully together, but there are somerecommended cuisines for each of the four types of sake. Of course, sake can also be enjoyedwith food from many other countries as well.

Fermentation Method
The most distinctive features of the shochu production process are fermentation with koji,
and the use of pot distillation. Koji-kin is a type of mold indigenous to Japan.

Distillation Method
There are two types of pot distillation: atmospheric and reduced pressure distillation.
Honkaku shochu and awamori are classified as pot distillation in which the spirit retains therich aroma of the ingredients. On the other hand, continuous distillation, as the namesuggests, involves continuously repeated distillation. This is used to efficiently produce highconcentrations of alcohol, without the flavor and aroma of the ingredients.

Shochu made from natural ingredients, in old-fashioned ways, and batch distilled (officiallycalled "otsu-type shochu") is called honkaku shochu. Within that category, shochu made in
Okinawa Prefecture is called "awamori".
Honkaku shochu and awamori are distilled liquors, as are whisky, brandy, and vodka, but thedifference lies in how the raw material starch is converted into sugar. Western distilled liquors
use large amounts of barley or other raw materials of abundant sugar content. Korean soju,
Chinese baijiu, and other Eastern distilled liquors use koji.

Maturation Method

Compared to foreign distilled liquors, the raw materials (for shochu) are truly diverse,
including sweet potato, barley, rice, brown sugar, and buckwheat.

After distillation, they are placed in jars, barrels, or tanks tomature. This maturation further deepens taste and fragrance.

Each region grows grains and other crops suited to the local soil, and these become theingredients for the honkaku shochu they produce. As a result, different kinds of honkaku
shochu have different flavors and aromas based on where they were produced, making it adrink with plenty of variety to enjoy.

As awamori is matured, it develops a progressively deeper
flavor. Matured awamori is known as “kusu.” The standards forkusu are strict and only products consisting of 100% awamori
matured for at least three years can be labeled as kusu.

Benefits of Honkaku Shochu and Awamori

Abundant Ways to Enjoy These Spirits

Honkaku shochu and awamori have low calories and are free of sugars and purines.
Honkaku shochu and awamori have higher alcohol content compared to brewed alcoholic
drinks like beer and wine. Though it is commonly thought that this must mean they are higher
in calories, in fact the opposite is the case.

Honkaku shochu and awamori offer a variety of delicious options.
There’s no one “correct” way to drink spirits.

* Values calculated based on the 2010 Standard Tables of Food
Composition in Japan: calorie content may vary by brand or by recipe.
* Because alcohol content varies by type of alcoholic drink, the total
amount consumed will vary when consuming 50g of alcohol. For
Honkaku Shochu, this amount is approximately 244g.

What is the ideal amount to drink?
The ideal amount to drink is about 120 ml per day.

What is the most effective way to drink?
The most effective way to drink it is mixed with hot water,which makes it easier to smell the aroma compounds, andimproves absorption by internal organs. If you don’t like, or
can’t handle, alcohol, even just mixing honkaku shochu orawamori with hot water and inhaling it is believed to help
prevent blood clots.
In order to prevent rapid increases in alcohol levels within
the body, it can be best to have it with a meal. Natto is one
ingredient that heightens thrombolytic effects. Eat a relishmade of natto with your drink to enhance the effect.
Honkaku shochu and awamori are drinks can be expected
to benefit health even when drunk in moderation.

Honkaku Shochu& Awamori help
dissolve blood clots?

Mixed with Cold Water

For people looking for health eﬀects

What many Japanese people are drinking

Mix about six parts 25% ABV honkaku
shochu or awamori with four parts hot
water. Hot water brings out the sweetand savory notes of these spirits.

Adding cold water is perhaps the mostpopular way to enjoy honkaku shochu
and awamori: it makes these spirits
milder and smoother, while still retaining
their signature flavor and aroma.

Professor Hiroyuki Sumi ofKurashiki University of
Science and the Arts
published a paper and clinicaldata suggesting that honkaku
shochu and awamori can help
dissolve blood clots.
According to the research,drinking honkaku shochu orawamori leads to greater
activation of enzymes that
dissolve blood clots,
compared to drinking otheralcoholic drinks. The researchalso found that there areabout a hundred aroma
compounds in honkaku
shochu awamori, and thatthey each stimulate thesecretion of enzymes.
In addition to activating
enzymes, drinking alcohol
also has a relaxing effect,
which is believed to help
prevent blood clots. The
enzymes work more
effectively when the body isat rest, and reduce the effectsof the activated enzymes,
which are easily affected byexternal stress.

To enjoy the full, true ﬂavor

Pour into a glass over ice. As
the ice melts, the flavor of thesespirits gradually changes.

Pour directly into a small cup or

Distilled Spirits from Japanand the World

Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center

The Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center allows people from around the world to see andexperience Japanese sake, honkaku shochu, and awamori firsthand as a way to learn about their appeal.

There are many drinks around the world that are categorized as distilled liquors, and theingredients used in them are truly diverse.
Japan's honkaku shochu is called "shochu" in English, but the pronunciation is very close to
the Korean distilled drink "soju", so some may think it is the same thing.
Japan's honkaku shochu and Korean soju have very different raw materials and distillation
methods. In Japan, there are shochu varieties from specific base ingredients, such as sweet
potato, rice, and barley, but soju uses a mixture of ingredients, such as grains and starch, andthe ingredients are not specified.

Tetsujiro Takahashi
Chef, French Cuisine “Nouvelle Epoque”
The Nouvelle Epoque of French cuisine began in September 2019, when The Okura
Tokyo opened. Chef Tetsujiro Takahashi is seeking for dishes that are founded on
the classics, but also present "health and gastronomy" by using the seasonal ingredients of all parts ofJapan, together with the country's culinary culture of fermented foods.
What kind of dining experience can people expectfrom Nouvelle Epoque?
Changing direction from classic, traditional French
cuisine, we serve Okura French cuisine, using Japanese
ingredients.
Japan has culinary cultures with regional roots, and aculture of fermentation. We head out into production
regions and talk to producers, to discover new
ingredients and pieces of fermentation culture thathave been hidden in those communities. We thenreconstruct and serve our discoveries.
We serve dishes which, by their appearance on theplate, give the diner an image of the scenery or
character of those source regions.
What are some popular Nouvelle Epoque menu
items?
First of all, there's traditional French cuisine. Thosealso use Japanese ingredients, but many others are
directly imported from France. Items using foie gras
are popular. Dishes using organic vegetables, which wehave sent from Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture every week,
are particularly popular with embassy staff, healthconscious diners, and vegetarians. We change themenu every 2.5 months, because of the ingredients.
How do you go about choosing and sourcing
ingredients?
I head out to Toyosu market at around 4am, think about
the menu while I'm looking at the ingredients, andmake my choices. I sometimes go to Niigata to makesake. I start from scratch and work with producers tosearch for ingredient ideas, and get inspiration fromthat as I choose ingredients. I also imagine the air,scents, and scenery of that land and think about how
to express them on the plate, then pick ingredients
within that kind of process.
26

What new recipes and menus are you
working on?
It's all French cuisine that people can
eat healthfully, under the concept ofhealth and gastronomy. The Okura Tokyo
is a Japanese modern hotel, so we use
things like tableware made by Japaneseartisans, as we cook dishes that weave
Japanese tradition and French esprit
together. We decide on menus about twomonths in advance, and take ingredientsthat will be produced and consumed in
two and a half months and match themwith other ingredients. Then we consider
combinations as we create the menu. We
use the foods that are in season at thattime, and there's nothing left at the endof the two and a half months. I want toexpress that evanescence on the plate.
What does “omotenashi” mean to you,as head chef?
It means making the guest feel at ease.
We aim to be an approachable restaurant,
and our idea of hospitality is to haveguests relax at their ease, so that theywant to come again. We greet our repeat
customers not with "irasshaimase"(welcome), but with "okaerinasaimase"(welcome home).

Osamu Hamasaki
Chief Concierge
A member of Les Clefs d'Or

Why did you choose to become a concierge?
While I was job hunting, I discovered the job"concierge" in a pamphlet introducing thehotel industry. I'd never come across the word
before. The job description said "person who
takes care of everything", and for some reason
that resonated with me, and I got interested
in the career. At the job interview, I declared"I'll establish the concierge desk myself!", andjoined the company. When I joined, there was a
department running concierge work, but it wascalled by a different name. Thirteen years later,the "concierge desk" was ready, and I became
the chief concierge.

What makes being a concierge the most fun
or worthwhile?
A concierge is ready to help in any way that's notagainst the law, and tries to achieve what theguest wants to the fullest extent possible, using
all the ideas and connections he or she could.
For example, when I fulfill customer requests
with the cooperation of overseas Les Clefs d’Or
members, the customers are surprised anddelighted, and I find fun and satisfaction in mywork.
Do you have a moving story with a customer?
An Indonesian guest in his 20s asked me to makehim reservations for high-class restaurants. He
contacted me by email a year before he wasscheduled to come to Japan, wanting to stayfor around two weeks and asking for lunch anddinner bookings for each day. In that process,some restaurants refused bookings from newcustomers without introductions, but when I
earnestly felt the customer's passion for food,and explained that passion to the restaurants,
they decided to accept the bookings and thecustomer was delighted.
When the same customer visited Japan on
another occasion, he stayed at a different hotel,
but when he asked the concierge at that hotel,
he didn't get sympathetic service. After that,he contacted me to say "I realized again thatyou, Mr. Hamasaki, are one of the world's best
concierges!", and that made me very happy.
What's the most important thing for aconcierge, or the thing you strive to do?
Building personal connections. When acustomer has a request, you can't always getthem what they want by working alone. The
biggest weapon for Les Clefs d’Or members is
being in a group of around 4,000 colleagues
around the world. Even if you can't solve a
problem alone, it's good enough if someone canget there for you. In customer service, we often
deal with foreign visitors to Japan, so I'm always
conscious of being a "private-sector diplomat",and I guide younger colleagues to think thesame way.
What do you see as "true hospitality"?
We want to make someone happy withoutlooking for anything in return, and we're readyto give our all, make any preparations, and takeany action to that end.

to experience the otaku culture of Japan. Eachcafe has its own concept, and don’t forget tofeel the term “mo-e” to show the unexplainablefeeling in words.

burnt down many times. The double arch stone bridge you see today

Talking to Kimio Nonaga, the thirdgeneration young master of Yukari
One feature of Yukari is that we serve cuisine acrossthe counter. We see the counter as a stage for thecooks’ performance. It’s a stage for presenting ourown appeal. When a customer orders a draft beer,
the norm in any restaurant is to pour the beer intoa glass and take it out. At Yukari, we serve it in a
handmade pottery mug fired in Kyoto. Our sakecontainers are original pieces made of tin, which you
can’t see anywhere else. That’s an example of how
we strive to offer the best hospitality. We want ourcustomers to enjoy a show that no other restaurant
offers. We ask our customers, particularly thosefrom overseas, about their food taste preferences
and allergies in advance. If it seems like here aresome things they would particularly like or dislike
among the dishes we serve, we can change thecooking method or the flavoring, to serve custom
cuisine to suit the individual diner’s taste. Hospitality
is about getting ready behind the scenes, and how
much preparation you put into the food, based on
the customer’s feelings. I think it should never justbe “work”, serving dishes in sequence, one, two,
three.
Kimio Nonaga
Born in 1972. Trained inJapanese cuisine at “Kikunoi”,
then became the thirdgeneration young master of
Yukari. Won the “Iron Chef
Japan Cup 2002.” Selectedby the New York Times as the
young chef to represent Japan,
and was the first person recognized as a “World Chef”.
Widely active in various media and magazines, andoverseas, in diverse fields. Preserves tradition while
spreading new Japanese cuisine.

GANKO
Hands-on Sushi-making Experience
This “sushi-nigiri” (sushi-making) program is open togroups of two or more people. They start by getting
ready, dressing in matching jackets. Staff explains
the history of sushi, then a highly-trained itamae(chef) gives a demonstration of “tai no sanmaeoroshi” (filleting bream into three cuts) and sushi
assembly for the guests to watch. Then, the guests
get to try it for themselves. They are provided
with cuts of maguro (tuna), salmon, yellowtail, ebi(shrimp) and other sushi toppings, sushi rice, wasabi
horeseradish, and nori (seaweed sheet), and try
their hands at assembling their own sushi, with theitamae’s guidance. The next stage, after the sushi isready, is a tasting and mealtime. Check the taste andappearance of your own sushi alongside the workof the pros. The participants receive graduation
certificates from the itamae who taught them.
This could be your chance to try sushi-making andbecome an on-the-spot sushi chef!
Cost: JPY7,000/person (sushi-making and hachimaki-headband) and JPY10,000/person(sushi making, hachimaki-headband, and happi-coat to take home). Booking required.
