"In Kanazawa, Japan, Zeniya is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant led by chef Shin Takagi whose style is rooted in traditional Kaiseki multi-course cuisine while incorporating splashes of modernity. Hsu staged at Zeniya seven years ago to learn Kaiseki; Takagi would pick him up at 5 a.m. to go to the market and then they would craft the day’s menu over coffee, a mentor-mentee relationship that evolved into friendship and later led to the two being paired together on Netflix’s The Final Table." - Beth McKibben
