The signature Chinese restaurant Jiang Nan Chun at Four Seasons Hotel Osaka will welcome the Senior Executive Chinese Chef Wang Yong from Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake, the acclaimed restaurant Jin Sha, for a special three-day four-hand collaboration from May 13 to 15, 2026.

Celebrated for its refined interpretation of Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine, Jin Sha brings together seasonal ingredients with a contemporary sensibility, earning recognition from discerning gourmets both in China and internationally.

At Jiang Nan Chun, Executive Chef Raymond Wong presents Cantonese cuisine with clarity and depth, guided by tradition while embracing a modern perspective. The restaurant has quickly established itself as a distinguished dining destination in Osaka.

For this collaboration, guests are invited to experience a specially curated eight-course menu that brings together the elegance of Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine and the finesse of Cantonese tradition. Chef Wang will present three signature creations, complemented by five dishes from Chef Raymond, forming a balanced and thoughtful dialogue of flavours, textures and seasonal expression.

Chef Raymond Wong shares, “Collaborating with Chef Wang, whose culinary roots are shaped by a different regional tradition, brings a genuine sense of discovery. It is an opportunity not only to exchange ideas and learn from one another, but also to present the depth and diversity of Chinese cuisine to our guests in Osaka through a shared dialogue.”

Chef Wang Yong adds, “Travel continues to inspire my cooking, and I am delighted to bring the spirit of Jin Sha to Osaka’s discerning epicureans. This collaboration is a meaningful exchange—an opportunity to share our craft, learn from one another, and create something memorable together in a city with such a vibrant culinary energy.”

This limited three-day collaboration offers a rare opportunity to experience two distinct culinary philosophies, brought together in a seamless and considered expression of Chinese gastronomy.
