In this episode, Justine interviews Chef Angelo Sato.

Angelo Sato, born and raised in Japan, began his culinary journey after the passing of his father, working in fish markets and restaurants in Tokyo to support his family. His passion for cooking led him to train in world-renowned kitchens, including three-Michelin-starred RyuGin in Tokyo, Eleven Madison Park in New York, and London’s Restaurant Story and Trinity, where he refined his skills and blended traditional Japanese cuisine with European influences.

In 2021, Angelo opened Humble Chicken in Soho, initially focusing on yakitori before evolving into a fourteen-course Japanese tasting menu with European elements in 2022. The restaurant’s innovative approach earned it its first Michelin star in 2024, and in February 2025, Humble Chicken was awarded a second Michelin star, cementing Angelo’s reputation as one of the world’s leading chefs.
