Dior opens Shinsaibashi with Pic restaurant

Christian Dior opened House of Dior Shinsaibashi in Osaka on May 21, the company said on its website and social channels. The new store in the Shinsaibashi district includes a restaurant called Monsieur Dior by Anne-Sophie Pic. Dior said the dining room sits within the new retail space and is part of the brand’s latest Japan opening. Social posts on May 21 and May 22 showed the restaurant and described a menu built around French haute cuisine and Japanese ingredients. ### Where exactly is the new Dior opening in Osaka? House of Dior Shinsaibashi is in central Osaka at 3-10-25 Minamisemba, Chuo-ku, according to Dior’s store page. The company describes it as a four-floor building in the heart of Shinsaibashi, one of Osaka’s main luxury shopping areas. Dior said the facade was designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and the interior by Peter Marino. (dior.com) The company said the building includes women’s accessories, shoes and leather goods on the lower levels, ready-to-wear on the second floor and men’s collections on the third floor, with art works installed throughout the space. ### What did Dior add beyond a standard flagship store? (dior.com) Monsieur Dior is the store’s restaurant, and Dior said it was conceived as part of the new Shinsaibashi site rather than as a separate nearby venue. On the boutique page, the company says the restaurant is intended to deepen the experience of the opening and is set in a space Peter Marino imagined as an homage to a garden. (dior.com) The restaurant appears to continue a format Dior has used in other markets. Dior already operates food concepts with Anne-Sophie Pic in places including Tokyo’s Bamboo Pavilion and Beijing’s House of Dior, according to the brand’s website. ### What has Anne-Sophie Pic said through Dior about the menu? (dior.com) Anne-Sophie Pic is the chef behind the Shinsaibashi menu, Dior said. On the Japanese-language boutique page, Dior calls Pic the female chef with the most Michelin stars and says she reinterpreted Dior codes including cannage, oval forms and leopard print for dishes created specifically for the site. (dior.com) Dior listed dishes with names including “La Toile Blanche,” “Les Pétales” and “La Plot.” The company said the menu stages what it called a dialogue between French haute cuisine and Japanese ingredients, with an emphasis on premium produce, textures and pairings. ### Is this a new Dior restaurant or part of an older Osaka setup? Dior has had an older Osaka restaurant listing at 1-9-17 Shinsaibashisuji on its website for years. (dior.com) The new House of Dior Shinsaibashi page, however, ties Monsieur Dior directly to the newly opened Minamisemba building and states that guests are welcomed from May 21, 2026. That makes the current announcement a new phase of Dior’s Osaka presence centered on the newly opened House of Dior Shinsaibashi. Dior’s own posts this week presented the restaurant as one of the opening features of the new store. ### What can customers do next? Dior’s Shinsaibashi page includes a reservation link for Monsieur Dior. The same page lists store services, departments and opening information for the new Osaka location, with the opening date given as May 21, 2026. (dior.com 1) (dior.com 2)
