For Chef Maeda, the secret to creating contemporary Japanese cuisine lies in the freshness and seasonality of three key ingredients. He insists on sourcing first grade Kelp, dried Bonito and premium Binchotan charcoal flown in directly from Japan. Armed with these three ingredients, Chef Maeda creates the complex fifth flavor of umami found in all his dishes. He is also skilled at the artisanal culinary technique of ‘Charcoal Play’, where he masterfully grills his signature dishes. While ‘Charcoal Play’ may be a simple way of cooking ingredients, it is very challenging as it requires full concentration, precise control over the temperature and in-depth knowledge of each ingredient.

In addition to the Chef Signature dishes, Chef Maeda has also crafted a variety of set menus featuring a special selection of seasonal dishes for guests to enjoy at the restaurant’s Sushi, Tempura and Teppanyaki counters. Mizumi is also home to an experienced in-house sake sommelier team. Well-versed in the characteristics and flavors of different sake, the team thoughtfully curates tailored sake pairing to enhance the flavors of each delicately prepared dish. Mizumi’s unique curation of sakes features award-winning, new wave, seasonal and limited-edition sakes sourced from artisanal Japanese brewers. The selection is unique to Macao and exclusive to Wynn Palace.

Chef Maeda began his career working for the MICHELIN 3-star Kitcho Arashiyama Honten restaurant in Kyoto, which is renowned across Japan for its exceptional kaiseki cuisine. Throughout his more than 10 years of service, Chef Maeda gained a tremendous amount of experience and further honed his skills in the art of Japanese culinary. He also successfully garnered the prestigious RED U-35 (Ryorinin’s Emerging Dream) accolade for three consecutive years between 2013 and 2015. RED U-35 is one of Japan’s most influential culinary competitions designed to award talented, up-and-coming chefs of the future who are under the age of 35. In 2016, Chef Maeda received yet another prestigious accolade, this time from Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia – The Arts, for his extraordinary culinary talent as a youth.
