About
Tsuru opened in January 2015 as the flagship Japanese kaiseki restaurant of the Jing An Shangri-La, serving the western reaches of the city. Head chef Kamata Hideki hails from Yokohama and brings over 30 years of experience in top-tier Japanese restaurants across Japan. Across 100 seats and two private VIP rooms, the restaurant delivers a complete kaiseki experience — sashimi, tempura, grilled courses, meat dishes, and rice — prepared from seasonally curated ingredients, including fresh fish flown in daily from Kagoshima. The Shangri-La Group's decades-long commitment to Japanese culinary excellence underpins the institutional consistency that defines this address.
