When it comes to culinary offerings, 2018 marks a big year for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. The luxury hotel brand announced the 2018 Tokyo-Osaka Michelin Guide awarded Azure 45 at The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo a Michelin star for the third consecutive year. Newcomers to the list this year include La Baie at The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka and Tempure Mizuki at The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto, each receiving one Michelin star.

“We are extremely honored that the Michelin Guide has once again recognized the outstanding work of our chefs,” said Victor Clavell, vice president, luxury, Asia Pacific excluding Greater China, Ritz-Carlton. “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.”

The company now has nine Michelin stars to its name in eight restaurants at seven The Ritz-Carlton hotels.

Chef Miyazaki of Azure 45, the signature French restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, is known for his modern takes on traditional dishes, such as his salmon mi-cuit suffused with white sesame seeds and wasabi sauce.

La Baie at The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka also earned a Michelin star for its inspired takes on classic French cuisine, like the Kegani crab effilochée with marinated turnip, jasmine rice cream and sea urchin.

Tempura Mizuki, helmed by Kenji Fujimoto, earned its first Michelin star for its elevated Japanese tempura.

In 2017, other restaurants at Asia Pacific The Ritz-Carlton hotels received Michelin stars, including Tin Lung Heen and 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.
