Yamazato joins Michelin

Hotel Okura Manila’s Yamazato is now listed in the Michelin Guide 2026 as a Selected Restaurant in Pasay. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s listing places Yamazato in Newport City near Ninoy Aquino International Airport and points diners to three formats inside one restaurant: a main dining room, a sushi counter, and private teppanyaki rooms. Michelin’s inspectors also highlighted dishes including Kurobuta kakuni and tamago yaki. (guide.michelin.com) Hotel Okura Manila said the restaurant is one of three Yamazato locations worldwide featured in the 2026 Michelin Guide. The hotel’s dining page describes Yamazato as its signature Japanese fine-dining outlet. (hotelokuramanila.com) The restaurant recognition arrived alongside a hotel award. Tatler Asia included Hotel Okura Manila in its Best-in-Class 2026 hotel awards for the Philippines, part of the Tatler Best Philippines Guide 2026. (tatlerasia.com) That puts one property in two travel funnels at once: Michelin for where to eat and Tatler for where to stay. Michelin also lists Hotel Okura Manila separately in its hotel selection, where it describes the property as being inside Newport World Resorts across from the airport. (guide.michelin.com) For Manila travelers, the location is part of the pitch. Okura says the hotel has 190 rooms and suites in Pasay City inside Newport World Resorts, a complex that combines lodging, dining, retail, and entertainment near the airport. (okura.com) The hotel is using the recognition to anchor its fourth-anniversary campaign, “Four Years of Timeless Omotenashi,” announced on April 19, 2026. In that release, Hotel Okura Manila paired Yamazato’s Michelin selection with its Tatler placement while promoting dining offers and room packages. (manilatimes.net) “Omotenashi” is the Japanese idea of anticipatory hospitality, and Okura has made it the hotel’s core brand in Manila. With Yamazato now carrying Michelin’s Selected label and the hotel appearing on Tatler’s 2026 list, the property is selling a combined stay-and-dine experience rather than a restaurant booking alone.
