Cantonese cuisine is a balance between natural elements and human health - cool dishes for hot seasons and warm, rich dishes for winter. FB Long Trieu Restaurant

Hibana by Koki - the only Japanese cuisine in Vietnam to receive a Michelin star 2024

Hibana by Koki - the only Japanese cuisine restaurant in Vietnam to receive a Michelin star for 2 consecutive years 2023, 2024

This honor is probably due to the unique Teppanyaki (hot table cooking) style at Hibana. Hibana is run by Chef Yamaguchi. His culinary creations are not only visually impressive, but also excellently “pamper” the taste buds of diners, reflecting the harmonious combination of umami (the fifth taste), kansha (deep respect for ingredients) and omotenashi (the art of Japanese hospitality).

Teppanyaki at the restaurant is like a journey of the senses, through the delicate flavors of Japan, meticulously prepared and served in private rooms, with a traditional sake bar and the chef's Teppanyaki table.

In a rustic yet sophisticated space with warm brown tones, in front of the teppan table, diners will be led into an "emotional house", to wait with the Japanese chef for dishes made from fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Premium Yaeyama Kyori beef is meticulously prepared on the teppan table, at low temperatures, for nearly an hour, to create a rich, lingering "umami" flavor when enjoyed. In addition, sea bass from the Sea of ​​Japan or hairy crab from the cold waters of Hokkaido..., the ingredients used at Koki are also not easily found in famous restaurants around the world. The restaurants selected by Michelin this year are expected by many to contribute to raising the position of Vietnamese cuisine and tourism on the international map.
