As CICADA enters its 9th year of business, the exceptional staff and I continue to provide heartfelt service to our customers when they visit, and we so with the same feeling we had when CICADA first opened its doors. From our regular menu to new culinary creations which evoke the feeling of the Mediterranean sun shining warmly on one's face, our hope is to always evolve and move forward.

As someone whose work is cuisine, the thing I think most about is to not offer self-satisfied cuisine or service. A restaurant is meaningless without guests. For the customers who come to our restaurant, I want to offer them cuisine as a matter of course, but beyond that I would be grateful if they were able to enjoy themselves in this space we call CICADA.
I work hard to develop tight communication with the service staff for the dining hall, so that we can always continue to provide cuisine and service that meets the customers' needs. That’s the kind of cook I want to be, and I work hard every day with the whole of CICADA’s personnel to become that.
