Innovative Tools for Exceptional Cuisine: The Collaboration Between KOTAI and ChiChi
"KOTAI, I’ve been a fan of this brand since high school!"
ChiChi (@chichi_cooook) is a food and lifestyle content creator on Instagram and on TikTok. With over 650,000 followers, he has built a loyal community by sharing simple and quick recipes. Naturally, we asked him about his favorite knife, to which he promptly replied:
"My favorite knife is without a doubt the Kiritsuke, especially the Damascus version!"
ChiChi Cook is a curious, self-taught chef who started creating videos in February 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Being alone and unable to cook for others led him to share his passion on social media. From a young age, he was inspired by his parents and their long careers in the restaurant industry. While he learned a lot from them, his training was completed in the semi-gastronomic restaurant world. These two drastically different experiences helped him develop a unique perspective on the culinary arts.

"I had the honor of becoming a chef at 21 years old; I could never have imagined anything better."
In 2022, eight years after his parents opened their first restaurant, they took the bold step of opening a second one, with ChiChi Cook working as head chef. With admirable determination, ChiChi and his parents now manage both establishments on their own.
ChiChi Cook has a bright future ahead of him, with many exciting opportunities waiting to be explored. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to him for the opening of the new family restaurant! During the Maison&Objet exhibition held in Paris in September 2022, we had the pleasure of welcoming ChiChi Cook as a special guest.
"KOTAI knives are truly exceptional, both for their value for money and for how easy they are to use, whether you’re a professional or an amateur."
