Michelin-starred Chef Yuu Shimano will be joined by two-Michelin-starred Chef Kazuyuki Tanaka, owner of Racine in Champagne, France, for an exclusive two-night collaboration dinner event at Restaurant Yuu on December 4th and 5th.
This exceptional 14-course chef-tasting menu will kick off the holiday season; both chefs will use their distinct culinary styles to showcase the very best of seasonal winter ingredients.
Guests will enjoy five amuse-bouches (three by Chef Kazuyuki and two by Chef Yuu), followed by three signature dishes from each chef. The meal will conclude with two desserts—one created by Chef Kazuyuki and the other by Executive Pastry Chef Masaki Takahashi (Restaurant Yuu).
Chef Kazuyuki’s impressive culinary journey began in Japan, where he honed his skills at esteemed establishments such as Apicius and Hotel New Otani Saga. He moved to France at the age of 21 and trained for years at Michelin-starred restaurants around the country before opening his own restaurant Racine in Reims, where he earned two Michelin stars. He has also received multiple prestigious accolades, including the Jeune Talent de l’Année Award (Young Talent 2015) and the three-time award recipient of the prestigious Grand de demain (Future Grand Chef 2016) Award from Gault & Millau. Chef Kazuyuki is also a published cookbook author of Un Japonais à Reims.
The dinner will feature two seatings on December 4th—at 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.—and a 6:00 p.m. seating on December 5th.
The dinner is priced at $450 per person and reservations for the event can be made on Tock here.
