Celebrating 50 years of French cuisine

In one of the most sophisticated and historic hotels in the capital, the Palace Hotel Tokyo's popular French restaurant Crown marks its 50th anniversary this year and will offer a celebratory dinner plan from March 12 to 14.

The Crown has served delicate and authentic French cuisine to Tokyo diners since 1964. Since then, it has produced many renowned figures such as Tokusaburo Tanaka, the restaurant's first executive chef and a pioneer of French cuisine in Japan, as well as Katsumi Asada, the first sommelier in Japan. In December, the restaurant was awarded a star in the 2015 Michelin Guide 2015.
