NYのBrooklynでディナークラブを開催しているプライベートシェフ、
Chef Aiが東京でもディナーを開催します。

NYでは農家直販のファーマーズマーケットで買い付けたローカルな食材を中心に、自作の陶器にのせて季節のコース料理やケータリングを振る舞い人々を楽しませています。かしこまったディナーというよりは、美味しいものをみんなで食べ、一つのテーブルから生まれる会話を楽しむ、というソーシャルディナークラブスタイルです。

日本の味をベースに、自身が世界の様々な国を旅して得たインスピレーションをプラスして新しい味を作り出し、独創的なディナーを提供するスタイルが評判を呼び、NY TimesやWall Street Journalなどにも掲載されました。最近では、サントリーが米を使ったウォッカHakuをNYにてローンチした際に、メディアやインフルエンサーを集めたPRディナーのシェフとして、季節のコースを振る舞った。

季節の新鮮な食材をできるだけ近郊から取り寄せ、NY同様にローカルな野菜と魚介を中心としたメニューをコースでお出しします。

６月１７、１８, ２７＆２８ ・　７月２、３

お1人様９,０００円（税込み）

場所
広尾・青山エリアから徒歩１０分
詳細は予約完了時にお知らせします。

BYOBスタイルでドリンクの提供はありませんので、
お好きな飲み物をご自由にお持ち込みください。

予約
[email protected]
お申し込みの際は、日にち、人数を記入していただき、
その後、予約の手順をお送りします。前払いとしています。

６〜７席

出張シェフとして、プライベートイベントやケータリングのご相談も承っております。
お気軽にお問い合わせください。
