About the event
A two-night Kaiseki collaboration
VinFolk X Kinkan is a multi-course Kaiseki collaboration dinner hosted by Vin Folk in Hermosa Beach.
The dinner is also connected to Chef Nan Yimcharoen’s relocation to the South Bay and the launch of KinKan Market. That gives the collaboration a specific KinKan focus beyond a guest-chef format: the program is tied to both Yimcharoen and the market’s launch context.
The chefs involved
The named chef team brings together Nan Yimcharoen, Kevin de los Santos, and Katya Shastova. Yimcharoen is identified as Chef & Founder of KinKan; de los Santos is identified as Co-Chef & Owner of Vin Folk; and Shastova is also identified as Co-Chef & Owner of Vin Folk.
KinKan Market is named as a featured restaurant in the collaboration context, while Vin Folk is both the host and the restaurant associated with de los Santos and Shastova. The event therefore centers on a KinKan and Vin Folk collaboration rather than a single-restaurant dinner.
