resonate in harmony through dining and stay experiences.

Benvenuti. Due patrie, un solo cuore.

Per me il Giappone e l’Italia sono entrambe una casa, due patrie ugualmente preziose e insostituibili. La sensibilità maturata crescendo tra queste due culture è diventata il fondamento della mia cucina.

In occasione del 160° anniversario delle relazioni diplomatiche tra Italia e Giappone, dall’estate all’autunno l’Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo si veste dei racconti e delle tradizioni di entrambi i Paesi.

Dal menu celebrativo di Il Teatro, agli abbinamenti tra cucina giapponese e vini italiani, fino ai dolci proposti nei bar e nelle lounge per celebrare questa ricorrenza: un percorso che invita a scoprire il fascino dell’Italia attraverso esperienze di gusto.

l cibo è un ponte: unisce Paesi e persone. Vi invito a lasciarvi avvolgere, negli spazi dell’hotel, dall’armonia che nasce da 160 anni di amicizia e di legami tra le nostre due nazioni, vivendo questa esperienza con tutti e cinque i sensi.

Welcome. Two Homelands, One Heart.

To me, Japan and Italy are both home—two irreplaceable homelands that have shaped who I am. Growing up between these two cultures has given me a unique sensibility that forms the very foundation of my cuisine.

As we celebrate the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Italy, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo invites guests to experience the stories, traditions, and spirit of both countries throughout the summer and autumn seasons.

From the commemorative menu at Il Teatro, to pairings of Japanese cuisine with fine Italian wines, and the celebratory desserts served in our bars and lounges, each experience has been thoughtfully created to share the richness and warmth of Italian culture.

Il cibo è un ponte – Food is a bridge. It connects countries and brings people　together. I warmly invite you to discover the Armonia—the harmony born of 160 years of friendship between our two nations—and to experience it with all five senses throughout the hotel.

Armonia d'Autunno
Autumn Harmony – Celebrating 160 Years of Japan–Italy Diplomatic Relations

¥20,000

To mark this historic anniversary, we have prepared a special dinner course.
The experience begins with an appetizer evoking the colors of the Italian flag. Rice flour ravioli is paired with Castelfranco, a vegetable that symbolizes the Italian autumn, while a risotto of barley and sake lees is finished with sage oil and a cardamom espuma. Every dish beautifully expresses a fusion of Japan and Italy. Seasonal touches also abound, including a fish course inspired by the traditional Japanese moon-viewing festival and a rich chestnut dessert that fully captures the charm of autumn.

and captivating world of Italian wine. Embark on a journey across the length of Italy,
