Following a successful run last year, The Ritz-Carlton’s Stellar Dining Series 2019 returns with seven chefs from restaurants that boast a total of nine Michelin-stars, and a host of workshops and collaborations in Tokyo, Kyoto and Guangzhou
Foodies can thank their lucky stars, because the opportunity to partake in an itinerary only the most discerning of gourmands could have dreamed up has returned. This year, the Stellar Dining Series by The Ritz-Carlton boasts seven of its best chefs behind its feted Michelin-starred restaurants across Asia and even Europe, who are joining hands to provide guests with a gourmet trek across Tokyo, Kyoto and Guangzhou. Come September and October, these dining destinations will play host to six-hands dinners, wine pairings and masterclasses that will help you sink your teeth into the lay of the land, and more.
These sojourning of the Michelin stars begins with a trip to Tokyo from September. And the first thing you will want do upon checking in at The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo on September 11 is to join a cheese workshop conducted by in-house fromager Jeremy Evrard. Taste through unique flavour profiles of eight cheeses and learn about the history and techniques behind the art of cheese-making in a cosy class of 12 guests. Then get into some inspired tipples on September 13 at the Four-hands Mixologist Night with The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong’s Head Mixologist Oscar Mena and 2018 Chivas Masters winner Kentaro Wada, who is also from The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong. The latter is known to take inspiration from art, music and sports, as well as the stars — last year’s cocktail was specially created to emulate a constellation.
