Viviana Varese
Alice Ristorante (Milan), Head Chief

In 1999 she opened her own “Il Girasole” in Rodigiano. In 2007, she met Sandra Ciciriello and they opened “Alice Ristorante” in Milan. After being awarded 1 Michelin Star in 2011, she became Ambassador Chef at Expo Milano in 2015.

Special guest from Japan
Masahiro Kasahara
Sanpi-Ryoron (Tokyo), owner

Born in Tokyo in 1972, he grew up looking at his parents who run a yakitori restaurant. After graduating from high school, he trained at “Shougatu-ya Kitcho” for nine years before taking over his family’s yakitori restaurant. On the 30th anniversary the restaurant has been temporary closed and in 2004 Kasahara opened his own “Sanpi-Ryoron” in Ebisu. The name of the restaurant is based on the idea that “you don’t have to be liked by everyone. It is ok if only the ones who like your food and method comes to visit […]”. It quickly became a very popular restaurant, even hard to make a reservation.
