Timeline
Tetsuya Wakuda (和久田 哲也) (born 18 June 1959) is a Japanese-born Australian chef based in Sydney.
He was the leading judge in the final episode of the second season of Junior MasterChef Australia.
Tetsuya Wakuda was born on June 18, 1959, in the city of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Wakuda made his first visit to Australia at the age of 22.
In 1983, Wakuda met Sydney Chef Tony Bilson, who offered him a job preparing sushi at Kinsela's in Taylor Square.
Under Bilson, Wakuda learned classical French techniques that underpin his Japanese-French fusion cooking.
Wakuda says that Kinsela's was where he realised he wanted to cook and discovered that he could.
Wakuda left Kinsela's in 1983 and set up Rose's nightclub with one of the restaurant's managers.
He worked as a chef there for a year.
After leaving, he was introduced to chef Hans Mohr and worked as a second chef with him for six months.
Wakuda decided to start his own restaurant with his wife and chose a small shopfront in Rozelle as the location.
Tetsuya's opened in 1989, in Sydney's inner-west suburb of Rozelle.
In 1992 The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide awarded the restaurant Three Hats.
The restaurant was remodelled in 1993, increasing seats to 65, with an expanded and re-fitted kitchen.
In November 2000, Tetsuya's moved to a larger location in Sydney's CBD.
Tetsuya was given an Order of Australia medal in The Queen's Birthday 2005 Honours List "For service to the community and the development of Australian cuisine as a chef, restaurateur and author, to vocational training and to support for charitable groups."
Tetsuya's Confit of Ocean Trout has been described as the "most photographed dish in the world".
Charlie Trotter said: "Tetsuya is part of an elite group of international chefs, that has influenced other chefs through their personal styles and unique approaches to food. His culinary philosophy centers on pure, clean flavours that are decisive, yet completely refined. His amazing technique, Asian heritage, sincere humility, worldwide travels and insatiable curiosity combine to create incredible, soulful dishes that exude passion in every bite."
In 2010, Tetsuya's second restaurant, Waku Ghin, opened in Singapore at Marina Bay Sands with an offering of a 10-course tasting menu.
In 2015, it was listed as #70 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants.
It was subsequently awarded one Michelin star in the inaugural 2016 Singapore edition of the Michelin Guide and then two Michelin stars in 2017.
It has maintained its two-star rating since 2017.
In 2022, Tetsuya opened his first US restaurant at The Venetian Las Vegas hotel in the Palazzo tower on the Las Vegas Strip.
