Born in Japan, the son of an American Air Force soldier and a Japanese Hiroshima Bomb survivor, Ramsey has always lived in a juxtaposition of opposing worlds. Ramsey began his culinary training in 1996 at Tako Grill in Bethesda, Maryland (USA), working the ranks from dishwasher up to a full-fledged sushi chef. He then went on to train in Japan with Masayoshi Kazato, the official Sushi Ambassador of Japan. Ramsey took a culinary detour and left the sushi world to broaden his repertoire, in a quest to develop his own original style. He studied under chef José Andrés, protégé of the legendary Catalonian chef Ferran Adrià of elBullí. From there he was handpicked by Japanese ‘super chef’ Hide Yamamoto as Executive Chef of Tapas Molecular Bar at the 6-star Mandarin Oriental Tokyo hotel. It was at this role that Ramsey explored his own style of modernist cooking, earning and retaining a Michelin Star from 2009, at the age of 32. Since then, Ramsey has been featured at pop-up restaurants across the globe and a sought-after culinary educator consulting on restaurant openings in the United States, Europe and Asia. Babe is an original concept dining experience that he has created together with the be group, offering an evocative, multi-sensory approach to modernist cuisine.
