Damien has cooked with a passion since the age of fourteen. It was in Bordeaux where he met his wife Ryoko, a native of Fukuoka, who was also working as a cook. The couple decided to move to Fukuoka to raise a family. Now, Damien is the Chef at Deux Mille Cinq, a recently opened fine French cuisine restaurant on Nishi-dori. Despite his young age, Damien brings a wealth of experience and flair to his cooking. His fusion recipes draw on France&#8217;s rich culinary history, and his cooking is very creative. Xavier, an old colleague, is also in the kitchen &#8211; another reason to drop by and taste some truly delicious French cooking.
