“Fashionable furniture or a sushi bar are not enough to offer authentic Japanese cuisine”. Hirazawa Minoru, president of the Italian Association of Japanese Restaurateurs and owner of Poporoya and Shiro in Milan goes straight to the point. There are 350 Japanese restaurants in town but only about fifteen are authentic Japanese establishments – that is to say restaurants that follow a strict list of quality conditions: the experience of the chef, the training and organization of the staff in both kitchen and dining room, the selection of raw materials, the processing techniques, the preserving and presenting of food, the following of the rules of harmony that are essential in Japanese cuisine.
