Biography
Early years
Lin trained in Japanese-restaurant kitchens before becoming head chef at Shunka.
Career
Lin runs the kitchen at Shunka on Carrer dels Sagristans 5 in Ciutat Vella, a Japanese restaurant whose name means 'intense aroma of the season.' Shunka is the original project of the broader Shunka group from which Hideki Matsuhisa's later one-Michelin-star Koy Shunka grew (the two are distinct but related restaurants). Shunka carries a Repsol Recomendado distinction.
Philosophy
Shunka's cooking harnesses the East-West dichotomy, Japanese-style technique fused with Catalan and Mediterranean ingredients. The format is more accessible than Koy Shunka but draws on the same culinary lineage.
