Dry Extract Interview: Aman Lakhiani, Chef & Co-Founder of Junsei, London, UK

As executive chef, Aman Lakhiani is the brains behind the seasonal menus at Junsei, and often heads up the grill during service. He first discovered Japanese cuisine whilst travelling the world as a teen, and went on to hone his skills at the Tsukiji Sushi Academy, Tokyo. He went on to work at Dos Palillos in Barcelona, where he studied the art of Japanese cuisine through the eyes of Albert Raurich, former head chef of the famous El Bulli restaurant. Passionate about extracting bold flavours from the simplest of ingredients, Aman seeks to showcase his respect for authentic techniques and ingredients at Junsei.
