A refined dessert course that embodies Japanese-Italian fusion, presented on a charcoal slate plate: matcha tiramisu in a low, clear glass, revealing delicate layers of sponge and cream, topped with finely sifted green tea powder and a tiny edible gold leaf. Beside it, a single house-made yuzu sorbet quenelle rests on a thin biscotti shard. The plate sits on a dark walnut table near the edge of a softly lit private dining room, with a blurred background hinting at a minimalist shelving unit holding cookbooks and ceramics. Subtle spotlighting from above creates a dramatic yet elegant contrast, highlighting textures and colors. Photographic realism, shot at a three-quarter angle, with a calm, indulgent, and sophisticated mood.

Über

Meine Küche, meine Geschichte

Ich bin Neriah, Privatkoch aus dem Kanton Schaffhausen. Meine Leidenschaft zur Italienischen Küche wurde mir bereits in die Wiege gelegt. Denn italienischen Einfluss verdanke ich meinem Nonno, der auch als leidenschaftlicher Koch und Gastgeber (wirtete). Schon als kleiner junger hatte ich den Traum von meiner eigenen Küche. Meine ersten eigenen Kochkünste habe ich während meiner Lehrzeit in einen Sternenrestaurant erworben. Meine verlangen nach präzision leitete mich in die Japanische Küche. So zog ich nach meiner Lehrzeit nach Bern um die authentischte Japanische Handkunst zu erlernen. Mit meinem gefüllten Rucksack und gesunden Mass Selbstbewusst sein, baute ich eine Fine-Dine Küche auf und durfte mich als Küchenchef zwei Jahrelang ausleben. In diesen zwei Jahren konnten mein Team und ich uns 90 Fallstaff Punkte erkochen. Danach beschloss ich mein Traum, der eigenen Küche nachzugehen. Mann sollte ja immer dann gehen, wenn es am schönsten ist. Nun habe ich den () Weg eingeschlagen und biete privaten Kocherlebnisse an. Diese Erfahrung bringe ich nun direkt an deinen Tisch: japanisch-italienische Fusionsküche, bei dir zuhause – in Schaffhausen und darüber hinaus. Fokus auf Einfachheit, hochwertige Produkte und eine persönliche, ruhige Atmosphäre.

A close-up of an artfully plated Japanese-Italian fusion main course on a matte white porcelain plate: perfectly seared scallop resting on a silky green pea risotto, garnished with crispy nori shards, micro herbs, and a delicate drizzle of soy-balsamic reduction. The plate sits on a smooth light oak dining table, with a subtle slate-grey linen placemat beneath. In the softly out-of-focus background, premium ingredients like fresh wasabi root, cherry tomatoes on the vine, and a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil are arranged. Gentle golden hour light from a nearby window creates soft highlights on the food and subtle shadows, enhancing textures. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle, with a calm, refined, and luxurious mood.
A polished open-kitchen countertop scene showcasing the tools of a private chef: a pristine Japanese gyuto knife with a dark wooden handle resting beside a hand-carved olive wood cutting board, where finely sliced tuna, bright green shiso leaves, and freshly rolled strands of pasta are neatly arranged. Behind, a row of small ceramic bowls holds ingredients like soy sauce, olive oil, and sea salt from Switzerland. The counter is dark stone, catching reflections from discreet under-cabinet LED lights and soft natural daylight from a nearby window. The background shows a blurred view of Schaffhausen hills through glass, suggesting location. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle, clean and modern composition, mood of quiet concentration and culinary precision.
A sophisticated mise-en-place scene on a long, sleek kitchen island, illustrating the preparation phase of a private chef in Schaffhausen. On the lightly veined white stone surface sit neatly arranged bowls of prepped ingredients: vibrant cherry tomatoes, finely chopped leeks, freshly grated parmesan, julienned nori, and a small dish of yuzu zest. Beside them lies a bundle of hand-cut pasta nests dusted in flour and a polished stainless-steel saucepan waiting nearby. The background shows a blurred, high-end home kitchen with dark cabinetry and integrated appliances. Soft, diffused overcast daylight streams in from a large unseen window, creating a calm, focused mood. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle with sharp focus on the ingredients, conveying professionalism, precision, and understated luxury.
An intimate dining corner designed for a private chef experience at home: a small, beautifully set table for two beside a large window overlooking a soft-focus view of traditional Swiss rooftops in Kanton Schaffhausen. The table features minimalist stoneware plates, slender crystal water glasses, and a single dark ceramic bowl with a steaming ramen-style pasta fusion dish, topped with grilled vegetables and a sprinkle of parmesan. A narrow carafe of infused water with citrus and herbs stands nearby. Soft evening light filters through sheer curtains, supplemented by a single warm wall sconce, casting gentle, elongated shadows. Photographic realism, composed with rule of thirds from a slightly elevated angle, creating a serene, sophisticated, and exclusive atmosphere without any human presence.

Rezensionen

A top-down photographic view of a carefully curated tasting menu spread by a private chef: several small plates arranged symmetrically on a natural oak table, each showcasing a different Japanese-Italian fusion bite—mini tuna tataki crostini, miso-butter gnocchi, and delicate vegetable tempura atop polenta. Between the plates lie small sprigs of fresh herbs, a wooden pepper mill, and a simple ceramic bowl filled with coarse Swiss sea salt. The surrounding space is airy and uncluttered, with the faint outline of a window frame casting soft, natural midday light across the table, creating gentle shadows and revealing texture in the food and wood grain. Photographic realism, clean and modern, with a balanced, sophisticated composition perfect for a website hero section.

Ein Abend mit Neriah fühlt sich an wie ein privates Restaurant zu Hause: präzise gekocht, herzlich serviert, überraschende Aromen zwischen Tokio und Toskana.

A meticulously arranged fine-dining table set for an intimate private dinner, featuring a single elegant stoneware plate with a minimalist Japanese-Italian fusion dish: translucent tuna crudo with yuzu, beside handmade saffron tagliatelle. The table is a dark, matte wooden surface with linen napkins, simple brushed-steel cutlery, and a small glass vase holding a single white seasonal blossom. In the softly blurred background, high-end kitchen tools and premium ingredients are visible on a counter. Warm pendant lighting from above and gentle reflections from an unseen window create a sophisticated, inviting glow. Shot at eye level with shallow depth of field, photographic realism, emphasizing refinement, calm luxury, and the exclusive feel of a private chef experience in Kanton Schaffhausen.
