i. Biography
Born in Nagasaki, Japan, the discipline behind Tsuyoshi Miyazaki’s work was built early: exacting training, measured execution, and steady progression through serious kitchens. After graduating from Nakamura Culinary School in Fukuoka, he moved into fine dining in Paris, where Passage 53 placed him in a kitchen that demanded precision at every stage. There, as sous chef, Miyazaki worked close to the mechanics of service, a role that sharpened the habits of timing, composure, and control that define kitchen leadership.
Coming Up
At Nakamura Culinary School in Fukuoka, Tsuyoshi Miyazaki’s foundation was set in technique and rigor rather than showmanship. That early education shaped a career built on repetition, judgment, and calm under pressure, with each step adding to the same base. The path from school into professional kitchens led eventually to Mr. T, where Miyazaki has been chef since 2022, carrying forward the discipline first developed in Fukuoka and reinforced in later service.
Where They Are Now
At Passage 53 in Paris, Tsuyoshi Miyazaki held the sous chef post that put him inside the daily demands of a tightly run fine-dining kitchen. The work required exact timing, consistency, and the ability to stay even as service moved fast around him. For Miyazaki, the role was a practical education in how polished kitchens operate at full pressure, and it added a Paris chapter to training already grounded in Japan. That experience at Passage 53 broadened Miyazaki’s working language without loosening the standards formed earlier in Japan. The influence of both places is visible in the way he moved forward: measured, attentive, and built for responsibility. As chef of Mr. T since 2022, Tsuyoshi Miyazaki continues to work from that same base of technical control and composure.
