JEDDAH - Rosewood Corniche, Jeddah's top ultra-luxury hotel, unveiled the open show kitchen at Ginza i Chome's to the delight of loyal guests and local diners, eager for a glimpse of how Japanese cuisine is prepared.

Hotel guests have provided consistently high praise for the innovative Japanese dishes from Ginza i Chome, and the restaurant has long been regarded as the foremost place for personalised and fresh fine dining among Jeddah's elite residents. An elegant setting with authentic stone and wood accents, the restaurant's kitchen is a marvel of Japanese decor with natural elements and modern comforts.

The restaurant is rooted in the Japanese dining concept of Omakase, meaning "it's up to you." The chefs at Ginza I Chome suggest dishes for the guests, promising a creative and surprising meal. In the open-show setting, chefs fully embrace the importance of performance in Japanese cooking, as their selections are artfully prepared and plated before the diners.

"Ginza i Chome is the pre-eminent dining destination in Jeddah, with the highest quality of service and food which pays homage to one of the oldest cultures in existence," said Hans-Peter Leitzke, Managing Director at Rosewood Corniche. 

"We're proud to introduce our inspiring open-show kitchen, which captures the essence of preparation rituals and the art of performance in Japanese cuisine.

"It is a testament to the skill and creativity of our culinary team at Rosewood Corniche, and diners have been overwhelmingly amazed at the up close and personal interactivity with the chefs and their food that the kitchen facilitates." 

The interactive restaurant is led by renowned Japanese chef Toshiya Honda who brings a wealth of experience to Rosewood from acclaimed restaurants across the globe. While the hotel's Executive Chef Richard Green oversees the culinary direction of the restaurant, the Ginza i Chome team creates a wide array of traditional and contemporary Japanese dishes to produce an authentic experience of a Japanese gastronomic encounter.

Set on the second floor of the hotel, with panoramic views of the Red Sea, Ginza i Chome is a firm favourite among Rosewood Corniche guests and Jeddah residents for its tranquil atmosphere, engaging and interactive chefs, and flawless Japanese cuisine.
