"Endo Kazutoshi was on the train to Paris when he heard about the fire that had destroyed his restaurant, Endo at the Rotunda, located on the eighth floor of the Helios building. The fire had started on a terrace and quickly spread, affecting the dining room and kitchen, built mostly from 200-year-old hinoki wood."
"Despite the devastating news, Endo decided to keep his reservation at L'Ambroisie, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Paris. Underneath a giant Aubusson tapestry, he sat in a fugue state, unable to focus or enjoy the meal, feeling detached from the experience."
"More than 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines were deployed to tackle the blaze back in London. Endo's mind was racing as he processed the scale of what had been lost, realizing the impact of the fire on his life and career."
