For our Supper Club KURA in April, we will be taking a trip to the heart of France with chef Philippe Batton’s beautiful cooking (and 6 courses!), and to make it extra “south of France” we will be serving Ricard apéritifs and wine from Chateau la Coste!

Phillippe Batton has been sharing authentic French cuisine to Tokyo for years. With his restaurant in Toranoman, where “wine and gastronomy is brought together under one roof in a setting and atmosphere typical of an authentic Parisian bistro,” Phillippe carefully curates his Carte Gouramande to create an exceptional dining experience.

Through his journey in Tokyo, Phillippe has participated in the launching of Le Petit Bedon as Chef and Manager. Under Philippe’s direction Le Petit Bedon became one of Tokyo’s most popular restaurants and led him to open Le Petit Tonneau in Toranomon, which is just as/ if not more popular.

This edition of Supper Club KURA will be in collaboration with Richard Heyraud who was brought together Barbara Penhouet and Bastien Marienne’s for their first exhibition in Tokyo. “Where Unseen Things Seep Forth”, which pierces through the world of things which are already there, but we must learn to see. Their combined works captures the emotions of small fleeting moments that are part of all our lives. A quest to feel the world around us.

Bastien Marienne will be present at dinner and will be happy to talk about his process.
