In his renowned restaurant ‘Azurmendi’ in the Basque Country, 39-year-old top chef Eneko Atxa is always eager to express new ideas in a dish, sharing the culinary memories of his childhood. In Tokyo, legendary Jiro Ono, a 90-year-old sushi master, works from a closet-sized kitchen, perfecting a dish that dates back at least 300 years to the Edo period.

Soul explores two cuisines apparently so opposite in their philosophy and experience, that have both earned the highest culinary recognition, three Michelin stars.
