[The Westin Osaka] Special Course Commemorating the Appointment of the New Chef at Restaurant Amadeus

The Westin Osaka (Kita-ku, Osaka / General Manager Masami Morita) will offer the 'Première Course,' a new menu commemorating the appointment of the new chef, Eriko Kono, at restaurant 'Amadeus' starting Monday, April 27, 2026. Chef Kono's delicate sensibilities and skills will bring a fresh breeze to Amadeus, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the restaurant.

### Première Course
The chef's greatest focus is the expression of 'sauces.' Sauces that draw out the umami of ingredients and are layered with care lead the dishes to their peak. Based on classic French techniques but with a modern lightness, the composition ensures a pleasant taste until the very end. Glamorous ingredients suitable for a debut, such as foie gras and lobster, unfold like a story through each course dish where tradition and innovation harmonize. It embodies the new worldview of Amadeus.

**Featured Dishes:**
- Beef and Foie Gras Rossini Style in Pie Crust with Truffle and Sherry Vinaigrette Salad
- Sautéed Lobster and Scallops with Oriental Sauce

With a focus on visual impact, the butterfly tuile decorating the salad is light, as if capturing the moment of flight, overlapping with the image of the chef herself taking a new challenge. This experience appeals not only to taste but to all five senses. Please enjoy a memorable lunch at the newly reopened Amadeus.

- Beef Tagliata, Parmigiano Reggiano, Vegetable Grecque, and Beet Balsamic Vinaigrette

**Message from Chef Eriko Kono:**
'I created this course with the desire to deliver a little excitement to daily life. Please enjoy the flavors and stories that unfold with each plate.'
