‘Isshisoden’ means ‘transmission of mysteries or secret techniques of a craft to successive generations of descendants’. Motokazu Nakamura trained his spirit at Tenryuji Temple to make himself feel worthy of being entrusted with them. From his priestly teacher the chef learned the phrase ‘Aji sunawachi kokoro nari’: delicious taste is the creation of a sincere heart. The flavours of white miso zoni and tilefish baked in sake are truths that cannot be expressed in words.
