Kobayashi -- a striking figure with bleached blond hair -- said Japanese cooks have earned their place at the top table of French cuisine. Kobayashi opened his restaurant, Kei, in centre of the French capital nine years ago, and wowed diners with such dishes as sea bass cooked on its scales and smoked salmon with roquette mousse and a tomato vinaigrette with lemon emulsion.Critics hailed the precision of his cooking and the way he made relatively simple dishes like gnocchi, truffle, bellota ham and parmesan cheese extraordinary.
"It's very simple. Every dish that Kei turns the rigour of his attention to is called on to become a signature one," it added.The influential culinary website Atabula said his cooking lacked"coherence and emotion", adding that although his restaurant was"a good two-star table, it's a thin three-star one".With its sparse grey interior, the chef said he did not need to hang pictures on the walls of his 30-seat restaurant, which he runs with his wife Chikako.
