LA BAIE OF RITZ-CARLTON OSAKA
************************
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company,
L.L.C. today announced the 2018 Tokyo-Osaka Michelin Guide, the regional
edition of the most distinguished culinary reference in the world with its
celebrated annual awards of excellence in international haute cuisine, has
awarded Azure
45 at The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo a Michelin star for the third consecutive
year, and newcomers to the list this year, La
Baie at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka and Tempura
Mizuki at The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto, one brand-new Michelin star each.
“We are extremely honoured that the Michelin Guide has once again
recognized the outstanding work of our chefs,” said Victor Clevall, Vice President, Luxury, Asia Pacific Excluding
Greater China.
“I would like to congratulate Shintaro Miyazaki at Azure 45,
Christophe Gibert at La Baie and Kenji Fujimoto
at Tempura Mizuki along with their respective teams for their
well-earned, highly coveted Michelin stars. Their talent, hard work and
dedication has placed them at the pinnacle of their extremely demanding art.
"These awards are also made possible by the
outstanding professional skills of all the Ladies and Gentlemen of The
Ritz-Carlton who create the exceptional experiences for our guests each day.
It is fitting that their achievements have now been recognised by this most
important of gastronomic guides.”
Mr. Clavell also said, “The Ritz-Carlton name is synonymous with excellence in luxury and its signature fine dining
across Asia, with a total of 9 stars in eight Michelin-starred restaurants at seven Ritz-Carlton hotels for 2018.
"Overall,
2018 promises to be an exceptional year for fine dining at The Ritz-Carlton
hotels across the region, with three out of four Ritz-Carlton hotels in Japan
alone now featuring Michelin-starred restaurants.”
Chef Shintaro Miyazaki’s confident, creative touch and balanced flavours
earned Azure 45, the signature French restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton
Tokyo, its first Michelin star in 2016, and this is the third consecutive year
that the restaurant has been awarded a star.
Chef Miyazaki creates modern
masterpieces against a background of tradition and experience, such as his
salmon mi-cuit suffused with the ephemeral fragrance of white sesame
seeds and accented by an exquisite wasabi sauce.
La Baie, at
The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, has earned its Michelin star for its inspired takes on
classic French cuisine. La Baie’s Kegani crab effilochée with marinated
turnip, jasmine rice cream and sea urchin showcase Chef Christophe Gibert’s
experience and assured touch in marrying the time-honoured traditions of
Escoffier and Bocuse with rare and exquisite Japanese ingredients.
Complementing the menu is an exceptional, award-winning wine list that is not
to be missed.
This is the first Michelin star for Tempura Mizuki, helmed by
Kenji Fujimoto, who began his career at Hanagatami, the signature Japanese
restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka in 1997.
When The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
opened in 2014, he was appointed head chef at Tempura Mizuki, which specialises
in tempura dishes of inimitable quality and delicacy.
Chef Fujimoto elevates traditional Japanese tempura to a high art form.
Exquisite seasonal ingredients are quickly and expertly deep fried in perfectly
hot, first-pressed benibanayu or safflower oil.
The chefs at Tempura Mizuki cook
in front of diners at the counter; the visual beauty, exquisite scents and
outstanding flavours becoming a treat for all five senses. The must-try signature creations at Tempura Mizuki are
its Omi beef filet with Japanese basil, and the feather-light egg yolk tempura.
In 2017, other restaurants at The Ritz-Carlton hotels across the
Asia-Pacific region also received Michelin stars, including Tin
Lung Heen, where diners savour spectacular views over traditional
Cantonese dim sum on the 102nd floor of The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, which was
awarded 2 Michelin stars.
Tosca
at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, Summer
Pavilion at The Ritz-Carlton, Millennia Singapore, Lai
Heen at The Ritz-Carlton, Macau and Jin
Xuan at The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong were all honoured with 1
Michelin star each.
