A new experience in step with the times for Cuneo Volley, which enters the world of high quality Japanese cuisine with the Torii Japanese Restaurant, the restaurant in via Monsignor Peano 8/B located inside the deconsecrated baroque church next to the Sacred Heart, a few meters from the central C.so Nizza.
The collaboration could only be signed in front of the delicacies prepared and curated by Chef Shinya Iiboshi who in the 1980s was in the service of Emperor Hirohito at Kyoto Castle.
« I immediately thought of this partnership as the possibility of combining two excellences in food and sport of our splendid city. I am sure that this collaboration will guarantee Torii a further step forward in making the true Japanese culinary tradition known and in the same way I am certain that the great Cuneo Volleyball movement will be able to enjoy a partner capable of further completing the culinary offer for players , entourage and hospitality. We decided to open our restaurant in Cuneo because we believe in the potential, energy and people of this incredible area. We have decided to invest in Cuneo, to believe in Cuneo and from today also in Cuneo Volleyball. As a sports lover, fan and proudly Cuneo native, I take this opportunity to wish the whole team good luck for this new championship. Come on Cuneo, make us dream! Fiöi anduma!» – these are the words of Alessandro Durbano, co-owner and founder of the Torii Original Japanese Restaurant together with Filippo Lerda.
The Torii Original Japanese Restaurant opened in July 2022, thanks to the mastery of chef Shinya Iiboshi, nicknamed “Otousan” who also boasts in his career the prestigious role of chef at the emperor’s court, and the professionalism of the director Nobuki Hashimoto and all the staff, today Torii represents a point of reference in Cuneo for traditional Japanese cuisine, defined as “Washoku 和食” and the best opportunity to savor the authentic flavors of Japanese gastronomy..
