御節料理

今あるすべてに感謝しながら迎えた2023年の新年は、すでに特別で、いつもと違う手応えがあります。家族に子どもが2人になった今、元日に伝統の重箱で御節料理を囲むことが、これまで以上に大事になりました。

一口一口が幸運と繁栄の象徴です。でも、あふれる料理の皿にみんなで代わる代わる手を伸ばすとき、そこにはこれまで以上の愛情のエネルギーが宿っています。親として、成長していく家族と一緒にまた新年を祝えることに感謝しながら、過去を振り返り、未来へ目を向けています。

今年の御節

今年の御節料理は、味と彩りと食感の饗宴になりました。一品一品を、細部までこだわり、伝統への敬意を込めて丁寧に用意しました。健康と繁栄を約束する甘じょっぱい黒豆から、純粋さと幸運を象徴する白い餅の入ったお雑煮まで、食卓のすべての要素が新年のお祝いであり、これからの日々への願いです。

今年のハイライトのひとつは、お刺身を加えたこと。魚市場まで足を運んで刺身グレードの魚を仕入れました。シーフードの鮮度と質が、新年の食卓に贅沢なタッチを添えてくれます。海の恵みと、シンプルさの美しさを思い出させてくれました。

でも、この新年を本当に特別にしてくれたのは、両親の存在です。新年に合わせて訪ねてきてくれて、初孫と触れ合う姿を見られたのは何よりの喜びでした。両親の笑い声と笑顔が、お祝いにさらなる温かさと愛情を重ねてくれました。家族の大切さ、そして大切な人たちとこういう特別な瞬間を分かち合う喜びを、改めて感じさせてくれます。

新年のお祝いを振り返ると、感謝でいっぱいになります。美味しい料理と料理する喜びだけでなく、家を満たす愛情と温かさに。笑い声、語り合う思い出話、グラスの音——それは家族が集まり、伝統が受け継がれ、新しい思い出が生まれる音です。

2023年に待っている料理の冒険にワクワクしています。これからもレシピや物語、我が家の歩みを皆さんと分かち合っていきますね。美味しい食事と健康と良い時間に満ちた一年になりますように。

今年が皆さんにとって素晴らしい一年になりますように。あけましておめでとうございます。2023年も、一緒に最高の自分になっていきましょう！

The Valentine's Protocol: Carbonara de Zucca
The Valentine's Protocol: Carbonara de Zucca

Valentine's Day. The rest of the world is fighting for overpriced reservations and rushed service. I am in the kitchen.

Inside my 4-course Valentine's protocol: a clean carrot potage, fresh sea bass, single-origin Peruvian chocolate, and a little bit of calculated rebellion—Carbonara de Zucca. Tradition meets experimentation. Respect the roots, bend the rules.

Velouté de Champignons

This isn't about finding the hottest new spot in town. This is about a ritual.

For my wife’s birthday, I step into the Tatekitchen to prepare a four-course experience designed to maintain "freshness" in our lives. We don't do commercial anniversaries; we do technique and high-grade ingredients.

Inside this year’s birthday protocol:

  • Antipasti: A French-style mushroom soup inspired by a summer trip to Helsinki.

  • Primo: Hand-made 100% semolina pappardelle with sushi-grade seafood and sea urchin.

  • Secondo: Denver steak seared in cast iron and finished in the oven, wrapped in caul fat.

  • Dolce: Siena Farm apples elevated by Madagascar vanilla bean vodka.

No dress code, no crowds—just the kids in their pajamas and the best food in Boston, served right at our table.

Baked Pesto Black Sea Bass
Baked Pesto Black Sea Bass

Valentine's Day. Four courses. Two kids helping in the kitchen.

This isn't about reservations or crowded restaurants. This is about showing up for my wife with white asparagus hollandaise, porcini mushroom risotto, pesto-crusted black sea bass, and chocolate panna cotta.

Lumi is my sous-chef. Lui hands Mom flowers. And I'm cooking every single course from scratch—because that's what she deserves.

Veal with Maitake Cream Sauce

This isn't just dinner. This is a statement. Four courses. Japanese fish market ingredients. My daughter Lumi as sous chef. Proper plating. Perfect timing.

Appetizer through dessert—each course planned to show up for the person who shows up for me every day. Kihada maguro is so beautiful, I could sell it for $200. Homemade pescatore with fresh shellfish. Veal with maitake cream sauce. Basque cheesecake to finish.

This is what love looks like in the Tatekitchen.
