Moe TAKAHASHI
Pastry ChefMoe Takahashi grew up in a family where it was a rare occasion to buy from a bakery. Her mother always made cakes at home for birthdays and Christmas. Giving her a hand sparked Moe’s passion, but it was seeing chefs Hironobu Tsujiguchi and Sadaharu Aoki on television that got her interested in taking up pastry-making professionally. After high school, she enrolled in culinary school so that she could achieve her dream. From 2007 to 2011, the chef started out her career as an apprentice at Tadashi Yanagi Pâtisserie. She progressed to become an intermediate pastry chef at the Viennese Confectionery Lienberg until 2015. She followed this up with an internship in France before becoming Head Pastry Chef (responsible for chocolate) at the InterContinental Tokyo Bay in 2016. In 2023, Moe presented her signature dessert, «The Windmill», at the Pastry World Cup themed around climate change. Moe creates recipes around the main ingredient, making sure it stands out unencumbered by any superfluous elements, then adds secondary ingredients if necessary. In terms of design, she often draws inspiration from furniture and interior decor. Her favorite pastry ingredients are chocolate and vanilla. She has fallen in love with TADOKA, which she sees as a unique solution with inspiring potential. For NOROHY Gallery, Moe combined TADOKA and chocolate to create a unique vanilla flavor, making a warm custard that enhances the table service experience. The chef brings out the delicacy of vanilla via a fine biscuit and emphasizes its versatility with the color white, using only vanilla beans as a motif.
