ShinoiS brings you the finest in modern Chinese cuisine with a personal touch.
While maintaining the utmost respect for Chinese culture and traditions, our menu utilizes new cooking techniques and ingredients, occasionally bringing together notes of regional dishes and the cuisine of ethnic minorities to provide you with my fresh take on the world of Chinese cuisine.
As a Japanese chef who has studied the entire range of China's regional cuisine during periods in Hong Kong and Shanghai, I hope you enjoy my work.
Hiroyuki Shinohara
I apprenticed under legendary chef Hikoaki Tan at "Akasaka Rikyu".
I then honed my skills at a range of restaurants, including at "Lohotoi" and "Hei Fung Terrace (The Peninsula, Tokyo)," before moving to Hong Kong to work at the "Hong Kong Fung Shing Restaurant," the "Hong Kong Jade Garden" and the "Hong Kong Forum Restaurant."
After returning to Japan, I worked as a chef at "Shangu" in Nishi-Azabu. I won the 2015 RED EGG grand prix at the RED-U35 competition, before heading to Shanghai to supervise the food menu at a bar that was nominated for Asia's/The World's 50 Best Bars. I was subsequently appointed Executive Chef at "The Peacock Room" in Shanghai.
After returning to Japan in June 2019, I opened ShinoiS in Shirokanedai in the following November.
