Kaede, the origin
My name is Xue Mei or rather “Chiang” as all my friends in Seville know me.
For me, KAEDE is a dream come true …
After working in the kitchens of a Japanese restaurant in Paris, in 1992 we traveled to Seville to participate in Expo 92 ‘in the Japanese pavilion helping with the food.
I still don’t know if it was its monuments, its people, its food or its aroma of orange blossom that made us fall in love, but what we knew was that we could no longer leave Seville.
This is how our first Japanese restaurant SAKURA arose in 1993, from the opportunity to bring Japanese gastronomy to a Seville where this type of food did not exist, thus uniting both cultures.
