Toru Hirakawa has been appointed the new Head Chef at NAMIKI667, the restaurant within Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, located on Namiki-dori in Ginza. To celebrate this occasion, a limited-time dinner plan, "Toru's Invitation," will be available until Thursday, October 31st.

Toru Hirakawa, the new Head Chef at Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, began his career at "Miyuki Sapporo." He subsequently honed his skills at establishments such as "Gastronomie Joel Robuchon," Park Hyatt Tokyo's "New York Grill & Bar," and The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo's "Towers." Since the opening of Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo in December 2017, he has been deeply involved in the concept and culinary development for "NAMIKI667."

The celebratory dinner plan, "Toru's Invitation," is characterized by combinations born from his spirit of hospitality and unexpected approaches, evident from ingredient selection and cooking methods to the pairing of food and beverages. Experience his visionary dinner in the unique show kitchen.

The menu begins with an amuse-bouche featuring "Mansakusoumen" from Tokyo and a madeleine made with local seasonings. This is followed by confit salmon, coated in a sea salt jelly using salt from Izu Oshima, Tokyo, and an anago (conger eel) beignet from Hokkaido. The main course is a grill of "Coastal Lamb," raised off the coast of New Zealand, known for its mineral-rich, juicy, and non-gamey flavor. For dessert, enjoy a Mont Blanc made with Japanese chestnuts and ice cream crafted solely from Tokyo milk and sugar.

Wine and sake pairings are also available for each dish. Delight in the marriage of flavors with beverages that stimulate the sixth sense, inspired by the hotel's location in Ginza's "6" chome. Selections include white and red wines from Gérard Bertrand's "6ème Sens" series, pioneers of the Languedoc region in Southern France, and the "No.6 Series" from Aramasa Shuzo, brewed exclusively with the historic No. 6 yeast (601).
