A Sweet Dialogue: A Unique Dessert Collaboration

On March 24, 2026, Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Otemachi will host an exquisite dessert collaboration featuring the signature dining experience at est. This event will see renowned pastry chefs Michele Abatemarco, the hotel’s Executive Pastry Chef, and Asuka Oto, the creative force behind Oto Restaurant in Tochigi, join forces to present a day filled with artistic and delectable desserts.

Michele Abatemarco, who has won acclaim for his creations and was part of the opening team at est, was immediately entranced by Oto’s artistry. His previous encounters with her desserts left a profound impression, leading him to admire the intricate craftsmanship and the delicate balance that Oto achieves in her work. For Michele, desserts aren’t just about flavors; they are about the stories they tell, the textures they invite, and the emotions they evoke. This shared philosophy of artistry and depth binds the two chefs, setting the stage for a unique culinary dialogue.

The art of crafting desserts is often a solitary pursuit; however, Michele and Asuka will blend their unique styles into a single, harmonious experience for guests. Their collaboration promises not just to tantalize the taste buds but also create an emotional connection through the language of sweet creations.

The Dessert Menu

The special collaboration will kick off with an elegant dish reflecting the essence of spring, presented by Chef de Cuisine Guillaume Bracaval. Guests will then be treated to a series of desserts inspired by the innovative approaches of both chefs.

Michele will reintroduce a fan-favorite dessert, “Chamomile,” which he has meticulously refined since the restaurant's opening. This dish exemplifies his culinary journey, integrating lessons learned over the years to present a classic that has evolved with time. Asuka will showcase her signature creation “Oeuf à la Neige,” a delightful dessert that highlights her creative spirit, specially adapted for this event to offer a unique twist.

To conclude the culinary experience, Michele and Asuka will join forces to create an assortment of “Féerie,” a selection of mini desserts that will surprise and delight. Michele's expertise in using honey, which varies in character and flavor based on its source, will be a highlight, while Asuka incorporates locally sourced Tochigi ingredients, embodying the warmth and richness of nature into her creations.

Their collaboration embodies the synergy of two distinct talents, promising an evening filled with delightful discoveries.
