Ego x Japan \u2013 France Meets Japan<\/h1><\/div>

Ego x Japan \u2013 France Meets Japan<\/h1><\/div>

At Bistro Ego, France and Japan usually go hand in hand. But for three special evenings in October, from 22\u201324 October<\/strong>, the two cuisines will step apart \u2013 only to meet again in a completely new way.<\/p>\n

Joining us at Ego is Japanese chef Yusuke Kawaguchi<\/strong><\/a>, who trained in washoku cuisine in Kyoto and has since worked in various parts of Japan. Since spring 2026, he has been based in Helsinki.<\/p>\n

Together, Yusuke and Ego\u2019s Head Chef Miika Keskitalo<\/strong> have created a six-course menu, with each chef preparing three dishes. For this special occasion, Miika leaves the Japanese twist aside and focuses purely on French cuisine, while Yusuke brings his own authentic Japanese cooking to the table.<\/p>\n

Three French dishes.<\/strong> Three Japanese dishes. One shared menu.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evening also features sake sommelier Mina\u00eb Tani-Lafleur<\/strong><\/a>, who specialises in sake, food and sake pairings, and Japanese food and beverage culture.<\/p>\n

For three evenings, Ego x Japan<\/strong> brings together two of the world\u2019s great culinary traditions \u2013 alternating on the plate, yet sharing the same table.<\/p>\n
