[June 1, 2026] Waldorf Astoria Osaka (Grand Green Osaka South Building, 5-54 Ofukacho, Kita-ku, Osaka; General Manager: Mark Meany) is pleased to announce the latest installment of its "The Tales of Two Chefs" collaboration dining series. On June 19, 2026, Chef Hiroki Yamasaki of "Ideal Bistro," a six-time consecutive Michelin one-star recipient, will join forces with Waldorf Astoria Osaka Executive Sous Chef Kazushi Komaji to present a special one-night-only course menu. Guests are invited to enjoy an exquisite gastronomic experience that touches the essence of ingredients. Ideal Bistro inherits the lineage of classic French cuisine while engaging in dialogue with producers to face the true value of ingredients. Based on traditional techniques, they explore dishes that make full use of every ingredient. Chef Komaji, who shares the belief of identifying the essence of ingredients and drawing out their maximum flavor, will combine his sensibilities and skills with Chef Yamasaki to create a special dish for this day only. The special menu features carefully selected ingredients such as fresh early summer vegetables, herbs, Shinshu salmon, and Nanatani duck, woven together into a cohesive course. With different philosophies breathing into each dish, the intersection of classic depth and modern sensibility elevates the cuisine to a new expression. Set in the urban, elegant "Jolie Brasserie," this one-night-only gourmet experience will elevate classic cuisine with a modern touch, accompanied by the arrival of early summer.
