Growing up in Yokohama, Saturo Hirano developed a love of gastronomy from both his parents. His mother owned a coffee shop where he would help out as a child, while his father loved to dine at renowned restaurants, giving young Hirano the chance to sample a range of fine foods very early in life. In 2020, Hirano’s growing reputation caught the eye of the pre-opening team of Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi. Originally joining as Banquet Chef, he was soon promoted to Executive Sous-Chef and then Executive Chef, a role in which he oversees the entire culinary operations at our Hotel.
