A TWO-NIGHT SPECIAL CULINARY COLLABORATION CELEBRATING THE OCEAN’S BOUNTY BY SUSHI FUJIMOTO X TWO MICHELIN-STARRED NOI BY PAULO AIRAUDO
This July, Hong Kong diners are invited to experience an exceptional meeting of minds and flavours, as Sushi Fujimoto and NOI, the Two MICHELIN-Starred Italian restaurant at Four Seasons Hong Kong, come together for a one-of-a-kind culinary collaboration. Taking place over two consecutive evenings – 16th July at NOI and 17th July at Sushi Fujimoto – the exclusive dinners will spotlight the finest seafood through the distinct yet harmonious lenses of Japanese Edomae sushi and contemporary Italian cuisine.

Spearheading the collaboration are Chef Kenichi Fujimoto of Sushi Fujimoto, and Chef Luigi Troiano, Head Chef at NOI under the guidance of Chef-Owner Paulo Airado. Both chefs share a deep respect for seasonality, sourcing, and technical finesse, each rooted in their own traditions – Chef Fujimoto through years of training under sushi legends Shinji Kanesaka and Takashi Saito, and Chef Troiano through his ascent in MICHELIN-starred kitchens across Europe. Together, they will craft an intimate seafood-led menu designed to transcend borders, philosophies, and expectations.
Located in FOCO, Sushi Fujimoto has quietly become one of Hong Kong’s most coveted sushi destinations, earning accolades from Tatler Best, SCMP Top 100 Tables, and Harper’s Bazaar’s Taste Elite 20 for two years running. The nine-seat sushi counter is known for its meticulous expression of classical edomae sushi, where each piece is a testament to purity, precision, and restraint.

NOI, whose name means “we” or “us” in Italian, brings a spirit of creativity and conviviality to the fine dining scene at Four Seasons Hong Kong. With panoramic harbour views, an open kitchen, and an ever-evolving tasting menu, the restaurant quickly earned Two MICHELIN Stars within months of opening. Under Chef Paulo Airaudo’s global culinary vision and Chef Troiano’s skilled execution, NOI continues to push boundaries while staying deeply grounded in Italian traditions.
The two-night collaboration will take place exclusively for dinner: the first evening on 16 July will be hosted at NOI’s Italian Silhouette dining room, followed by an intimate service on 17 July at Sushi Fujimoto for two sessions at 6pm and 830pm. Each evening will feature a different expression of the chefs’ shared inspiration – seafood – through complementary techniques and philosophies.

ABOUT NOI
Noi, meaning “we” or “us” in Italian, is a Contemporary Italian concept that offers diners a chance to get up close and personal with Chef Paulo to learn about his culinary heritage and passion for high quality ingredients sourced from artisanal producers. Welcome to Noi!
To Chef Paulo, “food is creativity and to eat is culture”. Instead of following trends, Chef Paulo’s cuisine is guided by his philosophy of honouring high-quality, seasonal produce from small suppliers and artisans around the world by turning each ingredient into a tribute to the farmers and the natural habitats they’ve come from. At the heart of his cuisine are the Italian traditions he grew up with, but Chef Paulo also experiments with taste, scents, and cooking methods and techniques to create unique and unexpected dishes that draw both from his childhood and his ongoing culinary journey. He is dedicated to providing his guests with the best of the best: not only is he involved in every step of his restaurant’s processes, from food and wine to music and interiors, but he also makes sure to create new and surprising dishes to look forward to at each visit.
Noi is located in Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, a landmark at the edge of Victoria Harbour. We have an open kitchen where you can appreciate all the elaborations performed by our team. The restaurant is divided into two key zones: an Italian style dining room named Italian Silhouette with a total capacity of 22 covers, and the Doodle Garden, a more casual breakout lounge featuring a wine bar and panoramic views of Hong Kong.
