美味しい料理と歴史的空間を楽しむカーサ・クオモ

Posted by Salvatore Cuomo on

このたび、私が手がけた新しいプロジェクト「カーサ・クオモ」を皆さまにご紹介できることを、とても嬉しく思います。

Introducing a new project: Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture: “CASA CUOMO CAFE”: I am very excited to present to you my new project, Casa Cuomo.

約4か月前、福岡県うきは市という美しい自然に囲まれた地に、私たちのカフェはオープンしました。この特別な空間を、ぜひ多くの方に体験していただきたいと思っています！ Our cafe opened about four months ago in Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture, a place surrounded by beautiful nature. We hope many people will come and experience this special space!

【歴史を感じるリノベーション空間】A renovated space with a sense of history

カーサ・クオモは、130年の歴史を持つ日本家屋をリノベーションしたカフェです。歴史の趣きを大切にしながら、最小限の改修で魅力を引き出しました。壊すのは簡単ですが、守ることには大きな価値があります。私たちは、地域の建築や文化を未来へ残すことを大切にしています。Casa Cuomo is a cafe renovated from a 130-year-old Japanese house. We have brought out the charm of the house with minimal renovations while respecting the historical charm. It is easy to destroy something, but there is great value in protecting it. We value preserving the local architecture and culture for the future.

【厳選素材を使った料理】Dishes made with carefully selected ingredients

ピザ、パスタ、ハンバーガー、スープなど、心を込めた料理をご提供しています。 We offer hearty dishes including pizza, pasta, burgers and soups.

  • 最高品質のコーヒー：厳選した豆を使用し、香り高い一杯をお届け The highest quality coffee: We use carefully selected beans to deliver a fragrant cup of coffee
  • 手作りのスイーツ：地元の新鮮な素材で丁寧に仕上げています. Handcrafted sweets: carefully prepared with fresh local ingredients
  • 居心地の良い空間：お一人でも、ご家族やご友人とでも、誰もがくつろげる場所です A cozy space: whether you’re alone, with family or friends, everyone feels at home here

【こだわりのピザとスモークバーガー】Specialty pizza and smoked burger

「サルバトーレ・クオモ」といえばピザをイメージされる方が多いと思います。今回のプロジェクトでは、北海道産のスペルト小麦、沖縄で開発したオリジナルの小麦粉、そしてイタリアの粉をブレンドした特製の生地を使用しています。2年の研究を経て完成した、唯一無二のレシピです。When you think of “Salvatore Cuomo,” many people think of pizza. In this project, we use a special dough made from a blend of spelt wheat from Hokkaido, an original flour developed in Okinawa, and Italian flour. This is a unique recipe that was perfected after two years of research.

また、スモークバーガーもおすすめです！同じ小麦粉を使用して僕たちのラボで焼き上げている自家製のバンズに、厳選した国産の牛肉を炭火で焼き、手作りマスタードとトマトケチャップと組み合わせています。さらには日田市の職人によってつくられた手作りの木箱の中で、ハンバーガーを丸ごと燻製し、旨味を最大限に表現しています。ぜひ、写真を撮る準備をお忘れなく！現在はこのカフェでしか味わえない逸品です。We also recommend the smoked burger! Carefully selected domestic beef is grilled over charcoal on a homemade bun made in our lab using the same flour, and is combined with homemade mustard and tomato ketchup. What’s more, the burger is smoked whole in a handmade wooden box made by artisans in Hita City to bring out the full flavor. Don’t forget to take photos! This is a special dish that can currently only be enjoyed at this cafe.

【持続可能な取り組み】Sustainable Initiatives

持続可能性は私たちのプロジェクトの核となる理念のひとつです。キッチンには最新のUNOXオーブンを導入し、僕のレシピを正確に守った調理をすることができるように設計されており、エネルギー効率にも気を遣っています。薪窯やガスを使用せず、環境にやさしい電気システムで運営しています。Sustainability is one of the core principles of our project. The kitchen is equipped with a state-of-the-art UNOX oven, designed to allow me to cook my recipes exactly as I like, and is energy-efficient too: it doesn’t use wood or gas, and runs on an environmentally friendly electricity system.

【酒蔵いそのさわ・中川社長とのコラボレーション】 “Collaboration with President Nakagawa of Isonosawa Sake Brewery“

このプロジェクトでは、日本酒の新しい可能性を探る試みとして、酒蔵とのコラボも進行中です。マダガスカル産バニラで香りづけした新しいタイプの日本酒を開発し、現在開催されている2025年の大阪・関西万博での発表を予定しています。 This project is also collaborating with a sake brewery to explore new possibilities for sake. They are developing a new type of sake flavored with Madagascar vanilla, which they plan to unveil at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, which is currently underway.

ピザ生地は酒蔵が位置するうきは市の湧水を使って仕込んでおり、この水は九州でも屈指の名水とされています。いそのさわ酒造の代表的なお酒「駿 純米酒」はすでにフランスでも高い評価を受けており、世界でも注目されるポテンシャルを秘めていると確信しています。 The pizza dough is made using spring water from Ukiha City, where the brewery is located, which is considered one of the best spring waters in Kyushu. Isonosawa Sake Brewery’s representative sake, “Shun Junmaishu,” has already received high praise in France, and we are confident that it has the potential to attract attention around the world.

このお酒はカフェで提供している料理にも使用しており、酒を使った和牛バーガー、酒香るジェノベーゼ、酒キャラメルのパンナコッタなど、特別な味わいをお楽しみいただけます。 This sake is also used in the dishes served at the cafe, allowing you to enjoy special flavors such as sake-infused Wagyu beef burgers, sake-scented pesto, and sake caramel panna cotta.

Published by Salvatore Cuomo

Salvatore Cuomo was born in Naples, Italy, in 1972, son of an Italian father and Japanese mother. Cuomo was first inspired by his father who also was an Italian Chef in Naples. He began at the young age of 11, where he trained himself in the kitchen and traveled frequently between Italy and Japan. He gradually learned how to blend the traditional Italian art of cooking with the Japanese art of perfection. A few years later he traveled to Japan with his father who opened an Italian restaurant in Chiba in 1984. About those early years Salvatore told the press that it wasn't a good starting experience: "I didn’t like Japan at all, so after one year, I went back to Italy and spent 2–3 years studying at a culinary school. When I was 18, I returned to Japan after my father became terminally ill and I have been here ever since."[3] Cuomo said that Italian Cuisine was just starting to get popular in those days. He and his two brothers decided that in order to succeed in the restaurant business in Japan they would have to understand the Japanese food mentality. They spent a couple of years researching the market before opening a new restaurant in Tokyo with what Cuomo calls "Original Neapolitan pizza." Since that time, Cuomo has been credited with catapulting Neapolitan pizza to fame in Japan, and today in all Asia with over 200 restaurant.
