Chef Abe's passion for food is not limited to only Japanese cuisine. He makes it a point to learn from his chef friends at restaurants like Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Blue Hill and Chikalicious and expose himself to more Western culinary ideas as well as baking techniques. 通过这样做, Chef Abe continues to create a New York-inspired film, modern Japanese cuisine at EN Japanese Brasserie.
