The cashmere-chic Round Hill Hotel & Villas played host to an unforgettable ‘Michelin-Star Culinary Experience’ last Saturday. The evening was a celebration of flavours, artistry, and the seamless fusion of two distinct culinary worlds.
Michelin-starred chef Marcelo Fukuya of Kinosh*ta restaurant in Sao Paulo, Brazil (fun fact: Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan), orchestrated the evening’s fare bringing his unique approach to Kappo cuisine and blending Japanese tradition with his native Brazilian influences. The night promised a culinary adventure with exquisite Japanese cuisine with Jamaican flair.
The ambiance was set with lanterns and tropical florals within a lush garden area as expectant guests readied for the first course — Robusuta Sunomono, a delicate Japanese cucumber salad adorned with poached lobster and pickled lychee, roasted sesame seeds all drizzled with the tangy ponzu Kinosh*ta sauce.
