The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, opened two new restaurants on Sept. 4, replacing the all-day dining outlet Forty Five on the 45th floor.
Azure 45 serves creative and seasonal French seafood, focusing on fresh fish, vegetables and fruit. Signature dishes, including toki salmon, lobster consomme and grilled foie gras ravioli, are prepared under the direction of Executive Chef Kiyonari Araki, who has worked in several Michelin-starred restaurants in France.
Towers Grill, a classic American eatery, offers some of the finest meats and seafood from around Japan, including A-4-rank Tankaku beef, botan shrimp, abalone from Sanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, and very rare Ezo pork loin from Tokachi, Hokkaido. Diners will have the opportunity to become members of the Knife for Life club, which provides them with their own Laguiole knife that will be engraved, maintained and stored for future visits.
