Culinary Masterclasses by Chef Satoshi Tsuru

Anupam Banerjee, Vice President of Food & Beverage at Atmosphere Core, spearheaded this innovative collaboration. In preparation for the launch of ‘RAAYA by Atmosphere’ on July 4th, a collective of top international head chefs has been participating in knowledge-sharing sessions. These classes aim to introduce new and advanced culinary techniques to the team at RAAYA.

Banerjee shared, “We are taking our cross-training approach to the highest level by inviting Chef Satoshi Tsuru. His signature approach to ‘Sushi Happiness’ will guide our chefs in the traditional craftsmanship of Japanese cuisine using local ingredients from the Maldives. Chef Tsuru’s experience from Japan’s historic sushi restaurants, particularly the world-famous ‘Ginza Shop’ in Tokyo, will be invaluable.”
