On Monday, December 29, l’abeille will host the first-ever collaboration legendary chef Toshiro Ogata (Ogata, Kyoto) has ever done with our very own Mitsunobu Nagae.
The evening brings together Japanese kaiseki and French haute cuisine - two traditions grounded in craftsmanship, seasonality, and balance. It is a meeting of Kyoto’s quiet precision and the expressive structure of French gastronomy - with Chef Ogata expressing his philosophy - the “art of subtraction” - to every course.
For one night only, the chefs will create a tasting menu that explores conversation rather than fusion: French sauces beside kaiseki broths, winter ingredients from Kyoto and New York interpreted with restraint and harmony.
More than a collaboration, this dinner is a dialogue between two philosophies - French technique and Japanese purity - united by their devotion to craft, the rhythm of the seasons, and the pursuit of flavor at its most essential.
