La French Touch Project

La French Touch, founded by two chefs from France, in love with Japan, who have mastered Japanese cuisine, are about to deliver hidden japanese products all over Japan!
Their refined sensitivity and creativity of the chefs from the epicurean country, France, enthusiasm for discovery with love and respect to Japan, and passion to express the potential of WASHOKU (Japanese cuisine) in various ways, inspired them to establish La French Touch. Moreover, their focal point is to bring out the “cuisine” harmonized with their creativity and originality.
