Honored to host Mr. Taku Fukumoto of Taisho Pharmaceutical and Mr. Wasef Al Numan of JBF Digital Corporation last night at Raffinato.
Huge thanks to the Taisho team and JBF Digital for a great evening of learning and exchanges. Some partnerships just feel like a natural progression like they were bound to happen from day one.
Looking forward to representing Tokyo Lipovitan regionally and beyond as their Culinary & Foodservice Brand Ambassador while driving this collaboration with Raffinato forward.
I feel super privileged as I am now deep into the F&B R&D and tastings right now, and to be honest, it’s an incredible experience to build around a beverage this finely crafted with the most unexpected finesse in taste, flavor profile paired with incredibly elegant packaging. Yes, the first impression will leave you speechless and then there’s the ingredients that make it happen.. in all SPETTACOLARE!
Born from pioneering Japanese innovation and a relentless work ethic, Tokyo Lipovitan is an incredible canvas to create with!
To really do it justice, you’ll just have to wait for the launch, which may only be a few weeks away! Get ready for a surprisingly refined, high-energy experience!
As Founder Chef Patron of ChefCamp, I’m equally energized by the global dialogue we’ve kicked off with Taisho to push culinary education standards and organized, systematic approach to ChefCamp’s Mentor-Apprenticeship Model, even further worldwide.
Huge gratitude and respect goes to our Managing Director, Mr. Iftekhar Khan for his support as always and his belief in our ability to deliver.
Honored to also acknowledge the mind behind this version of Tokyo Lipovitan, a true visionary whom I’m privileged to call a friend. Sato-san, what you revealed a few months back over a casual dinner was beyond inspiring. The standard you set that evening is a narrative I'll carry with me for a long time. Looking forward to seeing you soon, my friend!
Much appreciation to my GM, Ops, Sajjad Hossain, my Head of Enterprise Development, Mehrab Sami and both of their teams at Raffinato Ristorante Italiano. Ex*****on is everything, and none of this moves without their relentless hustle behind the scenes.
