Park Hyatt Bangkok presents the 4th edition of Yuzu Safari with Mason Florence & friends, now reimagined under the prestigious umbrella of the Park Hyatt Masters of Food & Wine global series. 

The event evolves from a celebratory dining experience into a refined, educational and interactive journey exploring the mastery of Japanese culinary traditions with yuzu as the central theme throughout. With its delicate balance of tartness, floral notes, and refreshing fragrance, yuzu has inspired chefs and artisans for centuries.
