Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards Ceremony will be held in Saga Prefecture in Japan on 24 March 2020. The awards ceremony and a comprehensive event programme showcasing Saga Prefecture’s rich culinary culture, exceptional craftsmanship and local agriculture will be held in Takeo.
The 2020 programme will include a new edition of #50BestTalks which will be held on 23 March 2020, as well as a series of immersive food and culture expeditions.
The eighth edition will also honour individuals including Asia’s Best Female Chef and Asia’s Best Pastry Chef, sponsored by Valrhona and recipients of American Express Icon Awards, Miele One To Watch Award and the peer-voted Chefs’ Choice Award, sponsored by Estrella Damm.
The list is created from the votes of the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy, an influential group of over 300 leaders in Asia’s restaurant industry, each selected for their expert opinion of Asia’s restaurant scene. The panel in each region is made up of food writers and critics, chefs, restaurateurs and highly regarded ‘gastronomes’, with a 50/50 gender balance in the Academy.
