Chomp participated in Oceanic Fusion: Bluefin Tuna & Oysters on the 24th of June. Although, the Oceanic Fusion culinary journey paid tribute to using fresh and authentic ingredients combined with the expertise of renowned sushi masters. We were surprised by how fun and contemporary the event was. It wasn't a formal and traditional event one would expect.

The event was led by Chef Shimpei Hatanaka, the talented culinary artist behind the renowned Saké Restaurant & Bar in Australia, and an Israel-based Chef Rio Suehiro, a private chef for Japanese Ambassadors worldwide for the past 15 years. It was an immersive and unforgettable experience. That night's highlight ingredients included fresh Bluefin Tuna from Wakayama and oysters from Hokkaido.
