On May 2019, the NOBU Fairmont Monte Carlo has welcome Wagner Spadacio to his new position as Sushi Master to confirm his continuous pursuit of excellence…
Wagner, originally from Brazil, arrived in France at the age of 14 and began his career in 2008 after graduating from the Lycée Notre Dame de La Providence in Orchies (North region).
He first trained in French and Italian cuisine and then began his Japanese culinary career in 2010 after obtaining the certificate of Pro Sushi Chef in Paris.
His first experience as a Sushi man took place in Monaco. From there, his passion for Japanese culture developed.
In 2016, he participated in the French Open Sushi Competition, where he finished as the winner. This experience allowed him to become French Sushi Champion in 2017.
All his efforts paid off in 2018 when he competed in the World Sushi Cup in Tokyo where he became Vice Sushi World Champion.
However, his career in the world of Japanese cuisine was not predetermined….
He studied at the Lycée Notre Dame de La Providence in Orchies and obtained his BEP in 2006 as well as his BAP PRO in the hotel industry with the “cuisine” option in 2008.
During his studies, he had the opportunity to do several internships in prestigious restaurants. Between 2006 and 2007, he worked for a few months at Dolce Chantilly in Chantilly (1 Michelin star).
A few months later, he joined the team at Number 10 Manchester Street hotel in London, specializing in luxury gastronomy.
During his first experiences, he learned a lot about French and Italian cuisine and it was only a few years later that he found his way by being hired at Avenue 31 in Monaco as Second Sushi man. He works with Chef Toshimi Takiya, former Chef of Moshi Moshi, who knows how to instil in him a love of sushi and refine his techniques.
After two very rewarding years in Monaco, he decided to leave to live his own experiences. He settles for a season in Saint Barthélémy where he works at the Sereno (5-star hotel) as Second Sushi man where he manages the sushi bar alone.
Then, he joined the team at Sumosan restaurant in Monaco and finally arrived as Head Sushi Chef at Buddha Bar. In 2017, while working there, he was elected French Sushi Champion: it was then that he embarked on a new challenge, that of becoming the world champion in Tokyo.
In the months before the championship, he went to Japan to discover the secrets of Japanese gastronomy and trained at the Bazara restaurant in Tokyo run by chef Hirohisa Koyama, 3 Michelin stars. His sacrifices and determination will pay off as he finishes as Vice World Champion of Sushi on August 24, 2018.
