【ARMANI / RISTORANTE】"ARMANI/RISTORANTE" x "MANO" 4 Hands Dinner

ARMANI/RISTORANTE Executive Chef Bruno Dürr, MANO Chef Ryuichi Nishimoto

ARMANI/RISTORANTE will host a one-night-only 4 Hands Dinner on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, welcoming Chef Ryuichi Nishimoto, who leads the Karuizawa restaurant "MANO," to collaborate with Executive Chef Bruno Dürr.

This dinner is part of the "47 Roots" project, which expresses Japan's diverse food culture, its inherent philosophy, aesthetics, and relationships with producers through Armani's philosophy and cuisine. Following the first chapter in Ehime Prefecture, which started in March, the second chapter will focus on Nagano Prefecture from June.

The "47 Roots" approach, where chefs visit local areas themselves, engage with ingredients based on trust with producers, and explore the essence of local food, deeply resonates with the philosophy of Chef Nishimoto of "MANO," based in Karuizawa.

Chef Nishimoto, who honed his skills in Spanish restaurants in Japan and moved to Spain in his early twenties, discovered cooking methods using wood fire there. He found charm in a simple style that brings out the inherent power of ingredients, establishing this approach as his core philosophy. After returning to Japan, he moved to Nagano Prefecture, where he continues to pursue diverse expressions that utilize the individuality of ingredients, incorporating the blessings of the mountains, the changing seasons, and the fundamental element of fire that nature provides.

Chef Nishimoto, who constructs his cuisine as if conversing with nature, centered on forests and fire, and Bruno Dürr, who pursues the purity and harmony of ingredients, elevating traditional Italian cuisine into refined dishes. With a shared philosophy of confronting the essence of ingredients, rooted in sensibilities cultivated in Spain, they will interpret Nagano's ingredients from their respective perspectives, intertwining their sensibilities to create a unique, one-time course.

A new value emerges from engaging with the land, bringing forth surprises. How will Nagano's ingredients be elevated, revealing new expressions? Please look forward to this special, one-night-only experience.
