Federico Iwakawa is an Argentinian chef of Italian-Japanese origins, now based in France. After attending cookery school in Cordoba, he set off for New Zealand and then Australia, where he began his career in neo-bistros and gourmet restaurants. After extensive travels in Asia, he arrived in Paris, where he experimented with Romain Lamon as assistant chef at Polissons, before recently taking part in the opening of Pagaille as second chef. In search of new challenges, he launched his career as chef-in-residence at Les Résidents, where he offers an innovative cuisine inspired by his origins and travels, while highlighting local produce.
On the strength of his experience, he took up the challenge of residency again, this time at Sessius 1622.
