WABI-SABI Dining presents a special Christmas Night Dinner where Italy and Japan — and the worlds of opera and gastronomy — come together in perfect harmony.
About this Event
Ayaka Tsuchida, a soprano who performs internationally from her bases in Italy and Singapore, and Yuki Mihara, an award-winning pianist highly acclaimed in Japan and across Europe — these two world-class artists will join us at WABI-SABI Dining for a one-night-only “Opera × Gastronomy” Christmas Dinner.
Beloved arias such as “Libiamo ne’ lieti calici,” “The Jewel Song,” and “Quando me’n vo’ ” will illuminate the evening with festive brilliance. As each piece unfolds, its emotional world, colors, and atmosphere inspire a multisensory journey where sound, aroma, and flavor blend seamlessly into a single story — a dining experience possible only here.
The culinary creations for this special night are crafted by Chef Takuya Yamashita, who has led Whitegrass to Michelin one-star status from 2021 to 2025, and Chef Atsushi Terashima of WABI-SABI Dining. Together, they present a Christmas-exclusive menu designed to reflect the character, narrative, and musical color of each aria.
Opera’s most iconic melodies intertwine with dishes conceived from their musical essence, creating a stage of gastronomy unlike any other.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this unforgettable Christmas evening, where all five senses come alive.
