Japanese-Brazilian chef Tsuyoshi Murakami, owner of São Paulo’s top Japanese Restaurant, Kinoshita, will visit London from 7th to 10th April to showcase his cuisine. Murakami is seen as the pioneer of the Kappo Cuisine in Brazil, a style of haute Japanese cuisine that aims to stimulate diverse sensations through the combination of rare and exotic aromas, textures and ingredients. Tsuyoshi Murakami will be hosting two dinners at Nuno Mendes’s Loft Project on 8th and 9th April – for reservations, please visit www.theloftproject.co.uk.
The Loft Project works as a temporary restaurant where chefs from top kitchens around the world are invited to host dinners for guests around one communal table. The Loft Project is located in Unit 2A Quebec Wharf, 315 Kingsland Road, London E8 4DJ.
At The Loft Project, he will be serving his creations under the Kappo Cuisine ethos like “Oyster Shot” – Oyster, salmon roe, Uni and quail egg yolk served in Ponzu sauce; “Sea Scallop Ceviche” – Fresh sea scallops marinated in Leche de Tigre and “Chocomoti Coffee Ice Mochi” with a Valrhona Jivara chocolate filling served with white coffee ice cream.
What a great concept and showcase for talented new chefs – everybody wins. We need to see more of this kind of creative thinking to rekindle the enthusiasm of the UK’s jaded restaurant goers.
