An Imperial Hotel team also took the Silver Medal at the Coppa del Mondo della Gelateria 2020, Gelato World Cup, held in Rimini, Italy, on January 19 and 21, 2020. Naoki Matsuo, Hiromi Nishikawa, Kenichi Matsunaga and Kengo Akabame created 8 dessert varieties, including several single glass portions; an entree item; a "mystery box" creation; gelato cake; ice and brittle sculptures; gelato snacks and others. The Japanese team theme for this year was dubbed the "Flowers of Music" and the skills of the team's ice sculptures were carefully evaluated.

Reflecting the broadening interest in sophisticated desserts and sweets on the part of the Imperial Hotel's global patronage, the hotel has recently devoted considerable research and the development of its cuisiniers' expertise.
