The mastermind behind Tanta’s innovative Peruvian menu, Chef Roberto Rocha grew up in a restaurant owned by his parents in Peru and found refuge and identity within the kitchen. Graduating with a Graphic Design degree, Chef Roberto utilizes his creative and artistic eye by playing with colorful ingredients when creating his dishes. With his passion for innovation and creation, Chef Roberto relishes in his opportunity to touch the hearts of each Tanta guest with bold and unique flavors influenced by Peruvian traditions and modern gastronomy.

In the meantime, Executive Chef Patrick Bouaphanh from Jinsei Motto is not only known for his outstanding sushi-rolling techniques but also his dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients. Started off rolling sushi at Marriott, Chef Bouaphanh later moved to Sushi Dokku and found his long-term stage at Jinsei Motto. Attending to every detail throughout the meal, Chef Bouaphanh’s sushi is always sliced to perfection and rolled with love.

For this collaboration, Tanta and Jinsei Motto made sure to curate a menu that pleases loyal guests from both sides. Starting off with some Oyster Shooters, guests then embark on an exciting match between the two chefs as each takes turns to present their interpretation of the menu item. Starting at the 7th course,  guests move into hot dishes such as Kakuni, Prawn, and Turbot, again presented individually by the two chefs based on their interpretation. The match concludes at the 13th course where guests can enjoy the all-time classic wagyu and eggs. To finish things off, enjoy some Kobe Cotton Candy and a collaborative dessert Warikase, featuring yuzu lemon custard, seaweed glass, and chicha morada reduction. For those interested interested in pairing their dishes with cocktails, a specially curated drinks list will also be available.
