Star-crossed celebratory feast

A Gourmet Legend dinner will be the centerpiece of the seventh anniversary celebrations of the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel on July 7, the day of Tanabata (Star Festival).

Coordinated by the hotel's executive chef, Nobuhiko Fukuda, who received the title of chevalier from the French government in January, the seven-dish dinner will be prepared with the collaboration of the hotel's French, Chinese, Japanese and dessert chefs.

Paris' famed pastry chef, Laurent Jeannin, who works with the hotel on its desserts, will be visiting Tokyo to prepare the latest confections from the French capital.
