Naoyuki Haginoya
Grupo Nomo
Naoyuki Haginoya — known to everyone as Nao — is the chef leading the kitchens since the very start of the project. Trained in Japanese restaurants, sushi bars, izakayas, and yakiniku spots in Tokyo, he brings a deep understanding of Japanese culinary traditions to Barcelona.
Nao arrived in Barcelona at just 23 years old, where he forged his roots and shaped his culinary style. Captivated by the Mediterranean and its quality of life, he decided to learn from local gastronomy and make the city his home — which is when he met brothers Juan and Borja Molina-Martell.
