Head Chef Tetsuya Fukuda has impressed me with his smile and professionalism in Japanese cuisine. We interviewed him in early August and found that he is another capable chef who masters his cuisine to the best. Under his stewardship, Katana Shabu & Japanese Dining offers premium set menu using the seasonal produce and harvest Chef Fukuda is able to source in Japan.
