Chef Kanji Kobayashi at Tavaru
This November, Velaa is honoured to welcome Chef Kanji Kobayashi, a master of agrigastronomy and one of Japan’s most respected culinary artisans, for two exclusive pop-up dinners at Tavaru.
With over 25 years of experience shaped by his formative years in Italy and a deep-rooted dedication to seasonal cooking, Chef Kanji’s cuisine blends precision, creativity, and nature’s rhythm. His thoughtful approach, centred around sustainability and local produce, has earned him two Michelin stars, a Green Star, and recognition on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list. His exclusive pop-up dinners at Tavaru will reflect his philosophy of capturing the essence of the season and the soul of the ingredients, bringing the purity of nature to the table with quiet sophistication.
