ORIGO second year anniversary.
Time can be very important, just counting it can have a great significance.

Meanwhile the world went upside down but after all I have been very lucky and grateful to keep doing what I love the most.
This time allowed me to meet some very passionate producers and other extravagant people. Hunters, fishermen, Foragers, Artisans and Friends. All united in their own differences.

This gave me the pleasure and confidence to keep on doing what I have been humbly doing since day one.
We won’t serve caviar or other so considered “posh ingredients” just for the sake of it.
We won’t have “signature dishes” running all year round just for the pictures.
We won’t use luxury items just to impress or showing off.
We won’t be trying to be cool because uncool is the new cool.
Whenever nature will allow, we will keep sensibly serving, wild vegetables and wild animals because I believe that’s where true flavours lies.
I will keep supporting small suppliers and artisans because I believe that’s where true passion is.

Thank you to all the people believing and supporting ORIGO in the last few years.
Thank you everyone for making it happen.

SUZU event.
Innovations for Traditions.

Traditions is what define a culture.
We must preserve in order to innovate.
Sustainability is not a trend but a lifestyle.
Back in the days there was no other way of living. It was possible before and it is still very possible right now, living in harmony with the environment, using ethically and morally the resources needed to sustain a balanced life style.
SUZU (as most of Noto) is facing depopulation and risking to loose oldest crafts and traditions.
Recently is receiving more attention of outsiders and investors.
Changes are inevitable and sometimes essential. The right direction will create or effect the future of this wise and skilled community.
In my opinion safeguarding is needed more then repopulation.
Do we really need to commercialise life to make it more appealing?

In Italy a meal is mainly social event where through food you understand where you are, who you are and the people you’re sharing this time with. It’s an opportunity to enjoy and share moments.

We will discuss and enjoy this and others interesting topics during a lunch event in a stunning location on the sea side surrounded by mountains in the presence of local artisans, farmers and friends who have choose to SUZU as their home.

We, ORIGO as Restaurant will have the challenge and the responsibility to use as many local ingredients and art crafts as possible to create a unique meal experience in company of local artisans, artists, farmers and friends who choose Suzu as their home.

23|24 November SUZU
LUNCH EVENT.
Limited space.
¥8000

ORIGO first year.
In the Japanese calendar I’ve born in the dog’s year.
It is believed that each year of a dog’s life accounting for seven human year.
Well today we celebrate ORIGO’s first year!
In reality three years have passed since I first opened the restaurant, CASA.
Three years, but in all honesty it really feels like I spent 21 years in Japan.

Everyday single day has been an intense journey. Filled by huge emotions.
The biggest joys and disappointments of my life.
I met the best and the worst people ever.
I mean it.
The most generous and greediest.
I made some big mistakes.
I trusted someone I shouldn’t.
I lost someone on the way.

Upon arriving in Japan four years ago, even though I didn’t speak Japanese and only knew one person in the entire country, I managed to follow my dreams and open my own Italian restaurant in Kanazawa.
Everyone I encountered was very supportive and welcoming, even though they couldn’t fully understand why I would challenge myself so hard in this way and choose their city for my unique project.

ORIGO became not only my restaurant but many people’s restaurant, because nothing could have been possible without their support and kindness.
The inspiring circumstances I found myself in, combined with the very real cultural differences and language barriers, encouraged me to give all the kindness and support I received, back to Kanazawa’s people.
Food became a communal language that allowed me to bridge important barriers – a beautiful means for me to connect and communicate with a new and important world.
Food became my only way to communicate and ORIGO was born.

I believed in an utopia.
I believed in dreams that lately turned into the worst nightmares, but I learned that the only way to overcome nightmares is to keep dreaming.
That’s why there is still a smile in my face, certainly not an sincere smile but a smile of a appreciation.

Humbleness is the key but you have to be brave to be humble.

Thank you everyone.

Snap ends, rainbow trout and fish roe.
Natural paring made by the season.

Seasonal ingredients meet and complement each other into a dish that can be made only one time of the year.

This concept in the kaiseki philosophy is called “de-ai-mono”.

スナップエンドウ、ニジマス、魚卵。
季節ごと変わる自然のコラボレーション。

旬の食材が出会って補完し合い、一年に一度しか作れない一品ができあがります。

懐石哲学におけるこの概念は「であいもの」と呼ばれています。 @ ORIGO Restaurant
