The 3 Michelin-starred young sushi master returns to Soneva Fushi this August

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Chef Kenji Gyoten, a 3 Michelin-starred young sushi master, is returning to Soneva Fushi in August. Chef Kenji’s restaurant in Fukuoka, Sushi Gyoten, has a six-month long waiting list. With the event, Soneva Fushi is allowing its guests to sample Chef Kenji’s culinary craftsmanship minus the long wait.

According to Soneva Fushi, So Hands On, Out of the Blue’s sushi counter, is the stage upon which he will be using the hontegaeshi (hand flip) technique of Edomae nigiri to prepare his bite-sized morsels – a technique rarely seen these days. This intimate setting gives a mere five diners front row seats to his mastery.

Chef Gyoten is one of only a handful of chefs with three Michelin stars and the youngest three-star chef in Japan. He will be at Soneva Fushi between August 18 to 29. For reservations, please contact the Reservations team at reservations@soneva.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_single_image image=”19122″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]
