  Descripción

  Hi, Emily & Mike here, and we run a ski lodge in Japan.
  
  The concept is simple. A ski lodge tucked away in the mountains that delivers our guests everything they need for the ultimate ski holiday. Comfort. Service. Movie room. Spa room. Located On-resort in Japanese powder. Serving inspiring and delicious food. Prepared by real people that know how to have fun & work together as a dream team.
  
  *****************************************************************************
  POSITION AVAILABLE - HEAD CHEF
  *****************************************************************************
  We’re looking for a professional head chef or experienced kitchen leader to take charge of our evening service. You’ll execute a set menu of either 5 or 11 courses, depending on the guest’s booking, built around seasonal produce, fire cooking, and fermentation.
  
  The menu is already created and the systems are well established — you’re not reinventing the wheel. Instead, you’ll be responsible for running a tight, efficient kitchen and delivering the experience with consistency, organisation, and care.
  
  RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
  - Lead and run a small, well-trained kitchen team
  - Execute our pre-designed 5 or 11-course set menus each night
  - Maintain quality, timing, cleanliness, and presentation
  - Follow and uphold established prep systems and workflows
  - Present dishes to guests and confidently talk about the food
  
  YOU ARE:
  - An experienced head chef or team leader in a professional kitchen
  - Exceptionally organised, with strong prep and planning habits
  - Confident in maintaining systems and mentoring others in them
  - Passionate about flavour, fermentation, and fire-based cooking
  - Calm under pressure and maintain a fantastic, steady attitude at all times
  - Comfortable presenting and explaining dishes directly to guests
  
  WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:
  - Serve thoughtful, creative food — without the chaos of designing a new menu every day
  - Work in a systematic kitchen where quality and rhythm matter
  - Spend every morning however you want — skiing, relaxing, recharging
  - Join a food culture built on fermentation, fire, and purpose
  
  
  If you’re ready for a rewarding winter season in the heart of Hakuba, apply now!
