TCHA: A Pop-Up That Blends Art, Food & Design

Stemming from her passion for matcha bars, Joya Burda came up with an exciting new way to incorporate an interactive environment with culinary creations. Founded in January, she created Tcha, a unique experience in the form of a pop-up that also hosts several engaging activities from a number of luxury brands.

The concept takes an even more lively turn as she meticulously goes over themes for her pop-ups that result in one spectacular party. There is always a different theme when Tcha opens in a new space, from ‘Garden of Eden’ to ‘Mad Hatter Invited Marie Antoinette’. One of the most recent pop-ups in Germany had its theme based on its space in a factory, being dubbed ‘Studio 54 Goes to Factory’. The artistic ingenuity that Joya puts into the space is phenomenal, which begins with her creating a vision board with the brands she selects.

“That is exactly what Tcha is,” says Joya. “It is an experimental concept that each time I bring something new to Tcha, sometimes things that haven’t even hit the market. I had these fantastic dried apple and egg white candies that I brought to Paris [and] I have this really fantastic jewelry brand [called] Moxie that is being launched today.”

Due to the nature of the pop-up, there is no set location and every couple months they open up in a new location. However, whenever a space is set and ready to let the party commence, personal invitations and social media connectivity will allow guests from all over the globe to know where Tcha is next in the world.

“I am going to do Gstaad next,” states Joya. “Then I have Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris. I have quite a lot coming up. That is what keeps Tcha alive. It’s like a monthly magazine.”

Diamonds & Champagne, Dom Perignon Meets Bulgari

When we think of glamour, what often comes to mind is something like this: Diamonds and Caviar. To celebrate the best of the best, two prominent LVMH maisons have teamed up to craft ‘Bvlgari Serpenti x Dom Pérignon Rosé’. This marriage of brands is perfectly represented with a limited edition case of Champagne that’s characterized by the iconic Bvlgari snake wrapping itself around a magnum of Dom Pérignon Rosé. This proudly Franco-Italian collaboration is the work of Bvlgari Creative Director Lucia Silvestri and Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon. The ultra exclusive, yet entirely innovative statement is the product of showcasing the best of each brands’ unique cultural heritage.

Each of the four examples are packaged within an alluring saffron and fuchsia lined wood case, with three magnums of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2004 gently strangled by a Bvlgari Serpenti necklace. This fine wine is all too worthy of the snake’s jealousy. The 2004 vintage benefited from a slow ageing process of 12 years in the maison’s cellar, not to mention the fact that Champagne’s 2004 harvest produced grapes that were impressive in both size and yield quantity. By harnessing the radiance of the Pinot Noir grape, Dom Pérignon has crafted a superlative elixir with notes of dark fruit as well as citrus, cocoa, and fresh hay. On the palate the Champagne is intense with long lasting hints of green citrus, a unique hallmark of this particular vintage.

And although the wine is remarkably impressive, we must not forget the serpent and her impressive history. Originally designed by Bvlgari in the 1960s, the inconic Serpenti has gone on to become the brand’s hallmark. A celebration of desire and seduction, for this particular edition, the Serpenti necklace that surrounds the Dom Pérignon magnum’s neck is crafted of Pink Gold, Onyx, and White Diamonds. A further highlight being the bottle’s engraving of a snake and a Rose Gold label which perfectly compliments the Serpenti necklace.

First released in April, the Bvlgari Serpenti x Dom Pérignon Rosé limited edition was made available
exclusively on request in London, Milan and Tokyo.

An Interview with Chef Takeo Yamazaki of YOSHI

Chef Takeo Yamazaki has made YOSHI one of Monaco’s premiere dining establishments by pushing aside restaurants like Nobu, with his innovative approach to Japanese Cuisine. Yoshi’s selections of maki, nigiri, sashimi, and classic hot dishes bridge the gap between eastern and western flavors. The fruits of these efforts have resulted in YOSHI becoming the only Michelin Star Japanese restaurant in the region since 2010.

Located within the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo, Yoshi’s exceptional cusine is complimented by a fine drink selection and a sober atmosphere. A menu of sakes and green teas were hand selected by the sommelier. YOSHI’s elegant dining room was designed by Didier Gomez and the menu of fresh local produce is served alongside a view of a Japanese-inspired garden. 

To learn more about Yoshi, we spoke with Chef Takeo on how YOSHI continues to wow their loyal following of patrons.

What is the inspiration behind YOSHI?

“My inspiration comes from my mentor Joël Robuchon who was in love with Japanese culture and gastronomy. We realised at the time that there was no great Japanese restaurant in the Côte d’Azur and we started to work on the concept of Yoshi.“

How do you balance traditional dishes while incorporating modern techniques?

“My passion is blending  traditional Japanese dishes with French delicacies. For example, adding Foie gras or caviar to an otherwise typical Japanese dish. You can use the Tataki, Agemono and tempura techniques and incorporate products that are European and make it a great plate.“

“So, I would say I use traditional techniques but with products that are not usually included in Japanese gastronomy. A great example of this is our wasabi puree which is a side dish that really pleases our guests. It’s interesting to integrate a very traditional Japanese product into a very popular dish like mashed potatoes.”

What elements do you believe set Yoshi apart from all of the other Japanese restaurants on the Riviera? 

“YOSHI has an amazing design with a Japanese style garden so it sets the tone when you enter. It is as if you were in Japan. YOSHI is also an intimate restaurant, which allows us to cater to our guests in a very personalized way. We are the only Japanese restaurant on the French Riviera to have been awarded a Michelin star since 2010 and this star still shines since we obtained it.“

What is the greatest challenge to maintaining a menu that appeals to both Western and Eastern palates?

“It is challenging; however, when we opened YOSHI, it was more of a challenge. Nowadays our clientele is well travelled and their palates have adapted to Japanese cuisine. They would be keener now to taste a traditional dish without having to adapt it to western palates. However sour flavors and gelatinous textures are still difficult for most Europeans.“

Have you always had a passion for European and Japanese flavours? 

“Yes, because I love to travel and find my inspirations through these moments where I go taste different restaurants around the world. It’s funny to see now that it’s common that Western dishes are reinvented into Japanese styles where Japanese ingredients get new foreign treatments and foreign ingredients get Japanese treatments, respectively.”

In a previous interview, you stated that if you were not a chef, then you would be an interior designer. With this in mind, how do you believe Yoshi’s remarkable design contributes to the overall dining experience?

“Yoshi is an experience and the design by Didier Gomez plays a big role in the contribution of our overall reputation. Visual presentation is an absolutely essential ingredient – it’s as much a part of the dining experience as the actual taste of the food.”

Michelin Starred Yoshi reopens for Lunch at the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo

As of today, the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo has reopened Yoshi for lunch service. The restaurant is the only Japanese eatery on the Côte d’Azur to have been awarded a Michelin star since 2010. Behind the kitchen’s helm is Chef Takeo Yamazaki, who offers patrons a fresh, healthy and modern menu with traditional flavors, adapted to Western palates. Takeo Yamazaki joined the Metropole Monte Carlo 13 years ago as the Head Chef of Yoshi and within two years received a Michelin Star for his cuisine that mixes the best of Eastern and Western flavors.

A highlight of the experience at Yoshi is the welcoming atmosphere designed by Didier Gomez, who worked extensively to marinate a selection of fine materials, such as ebony wood, stone and silks. Complementing the fine interiors of Yoshi are Japanese inspired gardens crafted by landscape architect, Jacques Messin. The garden’s design language was instituted to perfectly augment Chef Yamazaki’s simplistic, yet refined sunrise cuisine. Yoshi’s open kitchen and sushi bar allows guests to admire the artfully crafted maki, sashimi, nigiri, as well as fish or meat cooked with a teppanyaki grill. Highlights of the menu include EBI SHINJO (shrimp balls with kombu) and GHINDARA (black cod marinated for 72 hours). Yoshi’s celebrated cuisine is accompanied by fine Japanese sake, whiskies and green teas.

Yoshi’s hours are from Tuesday to Saturday, from 12:15pm to 2:00 pm and from 7:30pm to 11:00pm. To book your table at the best Japanese restaurant on the Riviera, call +377 93 15 13 13 or email yoshi@metropole.com

The best of Bordeaux from Petrus to Haut-Brion

Nearly five hundred lots of fine Bordeaux will hit the auction block in Hong Kong on the 25^th of this month. The single owner auction features one of the largest private collections of Chateau Haut-Brion ever offered. Vintages in the collection span over 100 years and include rare bottles of 1945 Chateau Haut-Brion and 1961 Chateau Haut Brion in large format. Additional highlights are the over one dozen unique vintages of Petrus as well as verticals of Cheval Blanc. However, our personal favorites are the lot of 3 bottles of 1934 Chateau d’Yquem and the 5 bottles of 1967 d’Yquem. According to Sotheby’s, the auction is estimated to fetch between “HK$10.5 – 15 million/ US$1.4 – 1.9 million.”

“This is one of those rare windows into wine history that mark a lifetime of vinous discovery. When they come your way, it is always breathtaking, as they evoke times remembered, vintages that vary with the weather and social conditions, extraordinary memories of scent and taste, occasions of joy and wonder and the sheer delight of knowing that these bottles, magnums, double magnums, jeroboams and imperials still exist. It reminds me of childhood fairy tales, of treasures slumbering for decades and then miraculously revealed. In this case, the sleeping took place in perfect cellar conditions and these legendary wines emerge from over a century ago, in one instance, to shine a light on what fascinates us all – the mystery of how wines evolve. This collection provides an unrivalled opportunity to follow this thread, through the lens of the First Growths of Bordeaux” – SERENA SUTCLIFFE, M.W. HONORARY CHAIRMAN, SOTHEBY’S WINE

8 Must Try Dishes in Miami

As Covid 19 vaccines are dispersed, travel is continuing to increase and with it, culinary destinations such as Miami have prepared for a surge in visitors, expecting no less than a gastronomical wonderland. In this list, which spans Mila Miami to MR CHOW; we have assembled a guide to 8 of Miami’s most exciting dishes this Spring Summer season!

Lobster Ravioli at Ambersweet at the Confidante Miami Beach

Located within the Confidante Miami Beach, is Ambersweet, a fusion restaurant boasting a retro glamour atmosphere and exceptional culinary creations, such as the Lobster Ravioli: a delicacy crafted from ingredients the like of buttermilk, a carrot reduction, burnt orange and chervil. Ambersweet is named after the superfluous Ambersweet Orange, a hybrid of grapefruit, tangerine and sweet orange. Nearly every dish at the restaurant includes a citrus element.

Tempura Beech Mushroom at Buya Izakaya + Yakitori

Buya, which means small fire in Japanese, was founded by Chef Michael Lewis and Steven Haigh of KYU; with Buya, the pair partnered with Michael Sponaugle to create a new concept. Modeled after an Izakaya (an informal Japanese bar), the restaurant serves high quality street style dishes as well as inventive cocktails, such as a Sake Juice Box. One menu item that is a particular stand out is the Tempura Beech Mushroom, reminiscent of a “bloomin onion” the dish is a mix of crispy and crunchy, featuring an umami beech mushroom bomb at the center covered in an Asian twisted ranch. According to Buya, the dish lands on almost every table.

The Swag Burger at BurgerFi Miami

The third dish on our list, may appear to be a simple burger, yet is anything but. BurgerFi’s super spicy SWAG Burger is available for just a few more weeks. The limited time burger, ground from Wagyu-Brisket, is beloved by Martha Stewart and is said to pack heat without being painfully spicy. Candied ghost pepper bacon is the not so secret ingredient.

Lobster Crudo at MILA Miami

The all new “MediterrAsian” menu at ultra-chic MILA Miami is filled with incredible highlights. The all-star culinary team brought life to a selection of fusion cuisine with rich flavors and inventive presentations. One particular stunner at this rooftop restaurant is the Lobster Crudo, marinated in citrus juice and crafted through a traditional Japanese “Konbu-jime” technique, the Lobster is cured in seaweed and served Ceviche style to share.

Baklava French Toast at Estiatorio Ornos a Michael Mina Restaurant

Yes, you read that right, Baklava French Toast. Estiatorio Ornos a Michael Mina Restaurant’s Executive Chef, Nikolaos Georgousis has developed a fantasy worthy treat. This classic eastern Mediterranean dessert has been reinvented as a brunch favorite. Notes of cinnamon, honey, and Florida citrus awaits.

Wagyu Gunkan at Zuma Miami

Now over one decade old, the chic Miami eatery, Zuma, is defined as a modern destination and favorite among Miamians. The restaurant’s remarkable view of the Miami River offers a renowned selection of contemporary Japanese delicacies right in downtown Miami. Our favorite among the menu’s many highlights is the Gunkan, which translates to “War Boat” in English. Small boat shaped cylinders of Japanese rice are wrapped in seaweed and topped with Wagyu beef. The design is a brilliant nod to the yachts which fill Miami’s many waterways nearby.

MR CHOW NOODLES at MR CHOW Miami

Magical noodles simmer in anticipation at the renowned MR CHOW Miami. The show worthy experience at MR CHOW’s Miami establishment is truly epicurean theatre. All of the noodles at this eatery are hand pulled towards the tableside to allow guests to watch the noodle making process from beginning to end. The experience allows guests to develop an intimate connection between themselves and the cuisine. Whether Flambéing Bananas Foster or pulling Bejing-style noodles, the art of table side service has steadily, yet unfortunately declined in fine dining. This is why you should support MR CHOW’s commitment to handcrafted excellence; the experience is truly remarkable and entirely entertaining.

Watermelon Salad at Mila Miami

Last, but certainly not least, we end this list of gastronomical splendor with a familiar name. Back at Mila Miami another highlight, albeit lighter than the Lobster Crudo, is the refreshing Watermelon Salad. The refreshing summer dish is sweet and savory with the combination of watermelon and organic tomatoes. Mila Miami’s culinary team uses “modern techniques and sauces to fuse the ingredients.”

This Restaurant Combines The Best of Japanese & Mediterranean Cuisine as well as Décor

Having just reopened, the 13,000 square foot Mediterranean-Asian rooftop restaurant, MILA Miami, is back with an appetizing new menu that brings together two phenomenal styles of cuisine. Situated in South Beach, Florida, this 250-seat restaurant delivers an unforgettable culinary experience accompanied by an inclusive selection of Balearic music, all the while surrounded by fine wooden sculptures by Russian artist Denis Milovanov and French artists Etienne Moyat and Benoit Averly, whereas internationally recognized Kay Lynne Sattler finished the interior’s façade with her clay and paint pieces, among others. With their Mediterranean heritage as well as passion for Japanese cooking & culture, native French owners’ Gregory and Marine Galy have realized a truly innovative space alongside LA based interior designer, Olya Volkova.

Well known for the design she created for the Fig & Oliver restaurants, Olya had taken this project as a challenge to bring harmony to a space with a varied design brief. “To find the points of connection and common thread between the two deep and rich cultures and cuisines was an exciting challenge that took time and iteration to discover,” states Interior Designer, Olya Volkova. “First, we dove deep into the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi which really resonated with Greg and Marine personally, tying back to the aesthetics of their Mediterranean roots. We then layered in natural and artisanal elements from areas like the Cycladic and Balearic Islands to add texture and color evoking a sense of eudaimonia – peace of mind, happiness and inner fulfillment. Only through these exercises we were able to achieve a balance between natural materials and natural beauty in a space that evokes the sense connection between these different but similar food, culture and lifestyle experiences.” 

Upholding their mantra of “joie de vivre”, which means joy of living, MILA cultivates a dining experience like no other as Miami’s thrilling nightlife integrates with the space’s intimate ambience. Palatable ingredients, such as miyazaki wagyu, olive wagyu and ohmi wagyu, which are imported from Japan, will no doubt satiate even the most refined pallet. The menu continues to entice oneself with a sizeable list of signature dishes: black rock lava grilled prime filet, beef short rib ‘kalbi,’ foie gras & uni diver scallop, truffle rossejat, shawarma-spiced wagyu gyoza, and a ‘MediterrAsian’ maki program, to name just a few. To enhance your eating experience, preparation tables have been set up for the diner’s enjoyment. Here you can watch an entire branzino being put under a blaze with pastis and rosmary; the full process of how a shiso guacamole is blended with a side of black rice chips; a raw bar serving crudo, poke and sashimi atop ice and dry ice; or some delectable desserts served over dry ice and nitrogen ice cream.

“Being able to collaborate with amazing artists and artisans from all over the world, for me, was the most meaningful aspect of this project,” said Olya. “Etienne Moyat wood carved a wall installation specifically for the MILA concept. Also custom pieces like the reception desk by Denis Milovanov, ceramic pieces from Kay Lynne Sattler, Sarah Jerath, Jereime Hirson, Patricia Shone, [and} Boylan Moskov bring the concept of understated elegance to life.”

Withstanding social distancing protocols and safety standards, the festive atmosphere shows no signs of letting up with its savory culinary offerings, high-class service, and stunning design scheme. From the artists’ numerous works to the various raw materials that were utilized to establish its warm and inviting presence, it all contributed to the design philosophy. “One of the key notions in wabi-sabi philosophy is beauty in imperfection and this was our main guiding principle for selecting the community of artists that contributed to MILA – natural, ever-changing and transcendental,” says Olya.

Despite Covid-19 This Parisian Luxury Food Market is Staying Open to Help Those in Need

LVMH’s world renowned La Grande Epicerie de Paris is widely regarded as one of Paris’ finest luxury food markets. However, as most Parisian staples close down during France’s lock-down, this particular store proves to be a bit of an enigma. In an effort to meet the needs of customers and support the store’s suppliers, La Grande Epicierie has remained open thanks in most part “to the engagement and professionalism of the store’s employees” claimed parent organization LVMH.

Founded in 1923, La Grande Epicerie de Paris offers in addition to a prized selection of house made pastries and breads, over 30,000 products from across the globe. Fine wines, cheese, seafood and meat among them. Located on the ground floor of Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, the shop’s staff has worked tirelessly to deliver fresh pastries, baked goods, and cheeses to a discerning clientele while supporting local family operated suppliers who face uncertain futures. Although most bakeries and pastry shops in the French capital remained closed, La Grande Epicerie remains staffed from the bakery and pastry shop to the shop’s incredible cheese counter.

To ensure that the store’s operations remain safely uninterrupted extensive safety measures have been implemented, including employee-customer distancing, as well as the provision of gloves, masks and hand sanitizer and plexiglass barriers for checkout staff. Management has even gone as far as advising employees to avoid public transportation and is offering to compensate employees for taxi and bicycle expenses. With these protective measures in place, it’s awfully tempting to pop by and purchase a dozen of epicurean genius Jean-Jacques Massé’ edible masterpieces. During this time customers can even benefit from contact free home delivery via Star Service.

By maintaining operations, the store has supported suppliers from small salt marsh lamb producers to “small artisanal French producers – such as Biscuiterie-Chocolaterie Mercier, Etablissements George Cannon, Kerex, J. Barthouil, Le Comptoir de Mathilde, Groix et Nature, Sacré Willy, Cooperative Sauniers Ile De Ré, Aix&Terra and Berry Graines” said LVMH. Additionally, La Grande Epicerie de Paris is providing support to healthcare workers. The store has donated protective gowns to healthcare providers in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, whereas “over 3,000 Easter chocolates were donated to Paris hospital healthcare personnel and fresh products with short shelf lives are delivered daily to Cochin hospital in Paris with help from Coursier Privé and RedE electric scooters.”
