Watanabe, who has always loved Italian food, visited Italy on a trip and realized once again the depth of Italian cuisine, and decided to pursue it. In his late 20s, after training in Italian cuisine at Sabatini, a long-established Italian restaurant with its main branch in Rome, Italy, he spent 10 years as a head chef at hotels in Tokyo and Osaka, and Aroma Fresca in Nagoya. . I have now been appointed as the head chef of Level 36, our hotel’s restaurant and bar.

high-quality ingredients to deliver dishes that convey the four seasons, is that “we do not overdo the ingredients when preparing our dishes, and we use simple cooking methods that bring out the best of their characteristics, allowing us to cook dishes in the shortest possible distance. “It’s about creating the best dish.” Restaurant & Bar Level36 is located in Shin-Kobe and is frequented by a wide variety of customers, so we want to convey the goodness of Italian cuisine while catering to everyone’s tastes. With the motto of “slow food,” which originated in Italy, we would like you to enjoy your meal while enjoying the view of the lush greenery from the
restaurant.”
“We want to create menus that allow you to experience the four seasons through your meals, using locally sourced, seasonal, high-quality ingredients.We want to share the wonders of Hyogo ingredients not only with our traveling customers, but also with local residents. We aim to be a restaurant that will make you rediscover your senses.”
