The Artistry of Italian and Japanese Cuisine: Gucci Osteria Tokyo x Chef Kanji Kobayashi

Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura Tokyo is set to host a collaboration event featuring a special menu prepared by guest chef Mr. Kanji Kobayashi, who is the proprietor and chef of Villa Aida, a garden gastronomy restaurant in Wakayama Prefecture. This unique dining experience at Villa Aida, which caters exclusively to one group per day, will take place for just two days on October 5th and 6th. It marks the inaugural collaboration event for Gucci Osteria Tokyo where they extend an invitation to a guest chef.

Since its grand opening in 2021, Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura Tokyo, under the leadership of head chef Antonio Iacoviello, has been dedicated to crafting distinctive Italian cuisine. Chef Iacoviello has displayed an unquenchable curiosity for Japanese ingredients and innovative ideas, resulting in a distinctive approach to each Italian dish created.

Chef Kanji Kobayashi, on the other hand, is known for cultivating over 300 varieties of vegetables annually in a field adjacent to his restaurant. He showcases the boundless potential of these vegetables through skillful ingredient combinations, establishing a dining establishment that harmonizes with nature. In a harmonious convergence of their culinary philosophies, both chefs celebrate local culture and amplify the allure and versatility of seasonal ingredients.

An exclusive course menu, crafted collaboratively by these two culinary maestros, will be available for dinner on October 5th and lunch on October 6th. To secure reservations, interested patrons can visit the official Gucci Osteria Tokyo website.
