This event is a one-night-only premium event where star chefs from various genres gather to offer cuisine and hospitality that makes the most of the region's unique ingredients. Our company, the organizer of this event, has experienced firsthand the existence of attractive ingredients and food cultures rooted in each region through our involvement in numerous "food" and "gourmet" events. It is from the desire to deliver such charms throughout Japan that we planned this event. The cuisine created by Tokyo's star chefs using region-specific ingredients has the power to remain in people's memories and widely disseminate the charm of the land and the stories of its ingredients. We aim for this initiative to carve a new page in Japan's food culture, together with the regional ingredients, their producers, the chefs, the hosting hotel, and the participants. ## ■ "GRAND CHEF'S GALA in Hiroshima 2026 Spring" Overview ## ■ TSP Taiyo Co., Ltd.
