The dish on Haruo Ichikawa
Michelin-starred chef Haruo Ichikawa, former chef of Iyo restaurant in Milan, is one of the few Japanese chefs with this important recognition in Europe.
Graduating school in 1954, his journey saw him train between Tokyo and Los Angeles and then in the most important Japanese kitchen in Milan – where every year the Milanese Guide of Gambero Rosso assigned him three globes.
Haruo’s kitchen is both an art and ritual, beginning with the freshest ingredients and featuring extreme attention to detail.
He strongly believes that the perfect dish is the one that makes the guest fall in love with it. Even though he remains faithful to Japanese tradition, Chef Ichikawa often integrates products from his adopted country into his preparations
Magnolia will complement the culinary offer from Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, allowing guests to choose between four different food options during their stay.
