\nIn the world of high gastronomy, quality is fundamental, but it is not the only criterion that distinguishes an extraordinary product. When Fabio, inspirator of FL Fuoriserie, selected the best Japanese sweets, he sought not only excellence in ingredients and technique, but also a philosophy and an ethics that could reflect the principles of his exclusive selection. After an exclusive trip to Japan, Fabio met the pastry shop Sangenan and its director, Yoshimasa Yamada.<\/p>\n

Yamada: More Than a Master Pastry Chef<\/strong>
\nYamada is not only a master pastry chef but also a man driven by deep moral and ethical values. His life journey, marked by challenges, passion, and dedication, embodies the concept at the heart of his corporate philosophy: “We become happy together.”<\/p>\n

The Story of Yoshimasa Yamada: Roots, Experiences, and Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in 1983 in the city of Amagasaki in the Hyogo prefecture, Yamada inherited a strong sense of spirituality from his paternal side and a refined sensitivity for cuisine from his maternal side. Raised in an environment that valued discipline, sacrifice, and quality, he developed from an early age a deep passion for artisanal work and Japanese culture.<\/p>\n

After high school, he embarked on an unconventional path: instead of pursuing university studies, he chose to become a traditional gardener in Kyoto. There, he learned attention to detail, respect for nature, and the art of patience, working in some of Japan’s most famous gardens, such as Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) and Ginkaku-ji (the Silver Pavilion). This period not only shaped him physically but, more importantly, taught him the value of dedication and precision.<\/p>\n

His life took a turning point with marriage and his entry into the company of his father-in-law, Tadashi Kimura, an entrepreneur in the food sector. When Yamada took over Sangenan, the family pastry shop, the company was struggling. Thanks to his vision, he transformed a brand that primarily produced for the OEM market into a benchmark for high-quality castella, bringing his sweets to Japan\u2019s most prestigious fairs and winning Michelin-starred restaurants.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”188180″ css=”.vc_custom_1708509119427{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column column_width_percent=”75″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”205860″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-14152292″ type=”carousel” medias=”103731,103716,103707,103710″ carousel_lg=”4″ carousel_md=”3″ carousel_sm=”1″ thumb_size=”four-three” gutter_size=”3″ media_items=”caption,media|lightbox|original” carousel_interval=”3000″ carousel_navspeed=”400″ stage_padding=”0″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”168988″ items=”eyIxMDMxNDRfaSI6e319″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”147604″ css=”.vc_custom_1741345574011{border-right-width: 5% !important;border-left-width: 5% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”199540″]<\/p>\n

Ethics, Work, and Philosophy: The Pillars of Sangenan<\/strong><\/p>\n

What makes Sangenan unique is not only the excellence of its sweets but also the philosophy behind their creation. Yamada believes that success is measured not only by economic results but also by the ability to bring joy to people. Every ingredient is carefully selected, and every production step is executed with the utmost respect for tradition and innovation.<\/p>\n

His work ethic is based on three fundamental principles:<\/p>\n

Respect for Tradition and Innovation:<\/strong>\u00a0 Every castella is the result of centuries of history, reinterpreted with modern techniques to achieve a perfect product.<\/p>\n

Commitment to Absolute Quality:<\/strong>\u00a0 Local ingredients of the highest quality, such as Uji matcha and Tanba Dainagon red beans, are chosen with rigorous criteria.<\/p>\n

Sharing Happiness:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yamada does not see his work solely as a business but as a means to spread well-being and satisfaction among his collaborators and customers.<\/p>\n
