Chef Azuma Song

Chef Azumasong, a Spanish-Japanese executive chef with over 27 years of experience shaping the world of high-end gastronomy. My career has taken me to the pinnacle of culinary excellence, from leading kitchens in 5-star hotels to curating bespoke menus for international airline catering. Notable highlights include my tenure as Chef de Cuisine (Japanese) at iconic establishments such as The St. Regis Downtown Dubai, Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk, and W Barcelona, where I honed my craft in delivering exceptional dining experiences that blend artistry, precision, and innovation.

My culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the timeless art of Kaiseki — the traditional Japanese multi-course dining experience that celebrates seasonality, balance, and aesthetic harmony. I reimagine this ancient craft through a global lens, infusing it with European elegance, vibrant Spanish influences, and a touch of modern creativity. Each dish I create is a narrative, weaving together the freshest seasonal ingredients, meticulous techniques, and a profound respect for the cultural stories behind every flavor.

Having led distinguished kitchens across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, I now bring my expertise to Vienna, where I offer exclusive private dining experiences that transcend the ordinary. Whether it’s an intimate Kaiseki dinner for two, a lavish celebration, or a curated cultural tasting journey, my goal is to craft unforgettable moments that resonate with sophistication and soul. Every menu is a bespoke creation, tailored to the season, the finest ingredients, and the unique preferences of my guests, ensuring a deeply personal and immersive experience.

Fluent in Spanish and English, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work, fostering connection through food that speaks to both the heart and the palate. My approach combines Japanese precision with a global sensibility, transforming each plate into a work of art that tells a story of tradition, innovation, and passion.

Beyond the kitchen, I am committed to creating meaningful connections through food. From sourcing rare, sustainable ingredients to collaborating with local artisans, I strive to honor the environment and the communities that inspire my craft. My private dining experiences are more than meals — they are journeys that celebrate life’s most cherished moments.

Whether you seek an elegant evening of refined flavors or a bold exploration of culinary traditions, I invite you to join me in Vienna for a dining experience that is as unique as you are. Let’s create something extraordinary together.
