A culinary dialogue between Italy and Japan is set to take place at the Four Seasons Hotel Milano on March 31 and April 1, where resident chef Fabrizio Borraccino and Toshikazu Kato, executive chef of Izumi at Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva, will showcase their culinary talents. The event highlights the shared appreciation for high-quality ingredients and culinary excellence between the two cultures, further enriched by the historical connection as Borraccino once served as a sous chef under Kato in Geneva.

The special menu, available for dinner only, features a range of dishes that celebrate this fusion, including an amuse bouche of crunchy rice and spicy tuna tartare, as well as shared appetizers prepared live by Chef Kato at a designated station. Diners can expect innovative creations like Hamachi with jalapeño and Wagyu Tataki with truffle ponzu sauce, along with sushi variations, providing a glimpse into how Italian and Japanese flavors can harmoniously blend.

This collaboration not only illustrates the culinary expertise of both chefs but also emphasizes the strong cultural ties and admiration between Italy and Japan, suggesting that food can serve as a bridge between different traditions and experiences, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation between the two nations.
