June is a big month for foodie collaborations as chef Peter Tempelhoff of three-star restaurant FYN connects with Michelin-starred chefs at two exciting events.  

First, Peter will join chef Shinichiro Takagi, owner and head chef of two-Michelin-starred Zeniya in Kanazawa, Japan, and Cape Town’s Sushiya head chef Ryan Reyes for a sushi-making masterclass at Time Out Market. Guests will have an opportunity to make their own sushi alongside the three chefs and enjoy a six-piece platter prepared by the trio. The platter will be paired with Fukumitsuya Junmai Sake. Diners can also take advantage of a sushi and Junmai sake special running for the day, which includes an omakase platter prepared by Peter, Shinichiro and Ryan.

Then, Peter will be joined in the FYN kitchen by chef Shinichiro and chef Jef Schuur of the acclaimed Bij Jef (one-Michelin-starred) in Den Hoorn, the Netherlands, for FYN: Connected By Currents. Along with FYN culinary director, chef Ashley Moss, the three chefs will host an exclusive Relais & Châteaux dinner in honour of World Oceans Day.  

With the intention of raising awareness around the importance of looking after our oceans, the chefs will shine a light on sourcing seafood sustainably and will showcase how it can be used in their cuisines.  

The once-off multi-course tasting experience will be made up of dishes spanning Asia, Europe and Africa and will be paired with a collection of coastal South Africa wines, as well as ocean-inspired cocktails and other drinks, curated by FYN sommelier and service director Jennifer Hugé.
