The story
For half a century, the Chugoku Hanten group has been bringing the authentic flavours of China to Japan. At Kohakukyu — the Amber Palace — located on the fifth floor of the Palace Hotel Tokyo in Marunouchi, the tradition continues with a team of first-class chefs recruited directly from Shanghai, Beijing, Canton, and Hong Kong.
The restaurant’s philosophy is straightforward: serve genuine regional Chinese cuisine, prepared by those who know it best. The result is a menu that draws from the breadth of China’s culinary traditions, from the refined dim sum of the south to the bold, aromatic dishes of the north. Each plate reflects the skill and heritage of its maker, without unnecessary embellishment.
The setting at the Palace Hotel Tokyo is polished and serene, with an atmosphere that suits both formal dinners and quiet celebrations. Wheelchair access, air conditioning, and parking are available, making it a comfortable choice for any occasion.
In 2026, Kohakukyu earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that underscores its consistent quality and the depth of its Chinese cuisine. For those seeking a true taste of China in the heart of Tokyo, this is a destination that delivers on its promise.
