About Chef Kazuhiro Watanabe

Born into a traditional Wagashi (Japanese confectionery) family, Chef Kazuhiro Watanabe’s background as a pastry chef means his mastery over fillings, sweetness, and texture was built upon a foundation of utmost delicacy from the very beginning.

Following rigorous training at prestigious establishments like the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, he dedicated himself to culinary competitions and teaching. Through a continuous process of development and innovation, he gradually established his own stable, versatile, and systematic approach to baking.

Since founding Le Supreme in 2007, Chef Watanabe has remained steadfastly focused on daily, everyday bread. Rather than chasing superficial complexity, he strips things down to the essence of the craft, meticulously re-evaluating the relationships between dough structure, hydration, fillings, and sweetness.

As a result, his bread consistently leaves a clean, precise, and enduring impression. Even with standard classics like Anpan (red bean buns) or cream pans, his attention to detail elevates the flavor profile and execution to a much more mature level.

Le Supreme has long enjoyed immense popularity in Nagoya and has been repeatedly named one of Japan’s "Tabelog Bread Top 100 Shops." What people remember is not just the flavor, but the unwavering consistency and expert judgment hidden within every detail.

From daily basics to flawless precision—come and re-discover how a truly exceptional loaf of bread is built from the ground up.
