American Express Opens New Centurion Lounge at Tokyo's Haneda Airport
NEW YORK, US - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 July 2025 - On July 16 American Express (NYSE: AXP) will open a new Centurion Lounge at Tokyo's Haneda Airport (HND), the busiest airport in Japan and one of the busiest airports in the world. The Centurion Lounge at HND marks the 30th to open worldwide and the 4th to open in Asia, joining lounges at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in Delhi, Hong Kong international Airport (HKG) in Hong Kong, and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai. The new lounge in Tokyo features locally sourced decor and artwork that celebrates Japanese philosophy, craftsmanship, and artistry, a live, open kitchen where guests can watch the chefs cook, a buffet offering a variety of Japanese and Western food and beverages, a dedicated sweets bar nodding to Japan's snack culture, and private phone rooms that are also equipped with a curated audio program for meditation. Located in Haneda's Terminal 3 near Gate 114, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the airfield while they rest and refuel before their flights. 'The Centurion Lounge at Haneda Airport celebrates Japanese culture, featuring custom artwork, an exciting menu that showcases the flavors of Tokyo, and my personal favorite – private meditation booths to help you recharge and find some calm before your flight,' said Audrey Hendley, President, American Express Travel. 'We've seen incredible demand for travel to Japan, it is one of the destinations where we've seen the highest growth recently. We look forward to showcasing the impeccable service Centurion Lounges are known for in a destination we know is so important to our Card Members.' 'Long awaited by our eligible Card Members, we are thrilled to open Japan's first Centurion Lounge at Haneda Airport,' said Yasuhiro Sudo, Senior Vice President, Japan Country Manager at American Express. 'We look forward to providing a best-in-class experience with high-quality meals, a wonderful atmosphere, and local charm to eligible Japanese Card Members and eligible Card Members from all over the world. We are committed to delivering the exceptional customer experience American Express proudly offers and is known for.' Select Dishes by Chef Satoshi Ogino, Plus Specialty Drinks and Sweets Bar Acclaimed Chef Satoshi Ogino is known for his mastery of classic Japanese cuisine with an emphasis on seasonality and has helmed the kitchens of several Michelin-starred restaurants in Tokyo, including his own Akasaka Ogino. In addition to a special lounge menu by Chef Ogino showcasing local flavors in his signature style, the kitchen will also offer Japanese favorites including sushi and ramen, and a buffet will serve both local and global cuisine. A full bar will offer a premium menu of wine, locally inspired cocktails, and a selection of Japanese beers, sake, and shochu1, while a dedicated sweets bar will feature a selection of teas and traditional Japanese Wagashi sweets, plus a rotating menu of additional treats. Art and Design Inspired by Local Craftsmanship and 'Japan Blue' Designed by OnBrand, American Express' in-house creative agency, the lounge is inspired by the philosophy, craftmanship, and artistry of Japanese culture and 'Japan Blue.' Produced by the Japanese dyeing technique of Aizome, 'Japan Blue' is a deep indigo hue that represents tranquility and stability and is ubiquitous in Japanese art, architecture and fashion. The color is woven throughout the lounge and complemented by natural materials and textures, including slatted wood, stone, and subtle walnut and black ash accents. The bar features elegant Uroko ceramic tiles and a dramatic ceiling canopy, while an Edo-Kiriko-inspired custom chandelier hangs in the main seating area and locally inspired textiles and wall coverings can be found throughout the space. The lounge features commissioned artwork from several local artists, including a custom American Express-inspired mural by Shu Kuroki, and Saki Matsumoto's textile reimagining of the American Express bulldog, Sir Charles Frosty Blue, as Komainu - a guardian of Japanese shrines symbolizing trust and protection. The artwork also includes ceramics by Ryuji Iwasaki, ink paintings by Ryohei Sasaki, and a traditional Japanese Wajima Nuri lacquerware installation by Miho Yokoyama. The pieces for the installation were sourced from Ishikawa — home of the Wajima Nuri lacquerware tradition — to support recovery efforts following the 2024 earthquake that devastated the Noto Peninsula.

Premium South Korean ocean treasures arrives on Malaysian shores
LAST year marked a historic milestone for local food enthusiasts as Korea's premium MiGyeongSan Hanwoo beef made its Malaysian debut. With the help of Plan New founder Olivia Lee-Lepinoy, Malaysia became the first country outside South Korea to sample the exclusive halal beef delicacy. This year, Lee extends the tradition yet again, introducing Korea's premium seafood to local food enthusiasts. Working with Korean chef Son Jongwoon and Japanese chef Masashi Horiuchi, the culinary experts introduced several luxury-grade seafood items to the domestic dining scene. Helming two Michelin-starred restaurants, Son specialises in preparing top-notch modern Korean cuisine. Whereas Masashi is known for his expertise in Japanese and French cuisine, allowing pure flavours of the produce to shine in his culinary pursuits. Together with Lee-Lepinoy, they presented Korea's premium seafood in a one-day-only dining experience, officially introducing it to Malaysians for the first time. Robust options The South Korean nation is surrounded by three oceans – the Japan/East Sea, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, which gives its fishermen exclusive access to a diverse set of marine life. While the oceans are contiguous, each aquatic region has a distinct ecosystem. Lee-Lepinoy brought over 15 delicacies from the peninsular seas. The highly prized exclusive delicacies include the Blackthroat Seaperch KeumTae, Pei Mama premium dried Korean wild sea cucumber, premium Korean snow crab and the Korean premium Pungcheon eels. 'The success with the Hanwoo beef last year inspired me to venture into seafood. Premium seafood has not been introduced in Malaysia before. So, it felt like the right time to introduce good seafood here,' she told theSun. Similar to the Hanwoo beef, the seafood delicacies are well regarded for their natural flavours. The Blackthroat Seaperch KeumTae, also known as 'the crown prince of fish', for one, is recognised by Michelin-starred restaurants for its exceptionally tender and buttery meat. The Pei Mama premium dried Korean wild sea cucumber, premium Korean snow crab and the Korean premium Pungcheon eels, on the other hand, are well-regarded for its nutritional and savoury flavour. Firmer texture Apart from its exclusivity, the delicacies also have a firmer texture. Considering Korea's chilly weather and water, the fish and crustaceans have firmer flesh that is moist and fresh, improving their taste significantly. 'The seafood in Malaysia is of good quality, no doubt and Malaysians are in no shortage of it. But, it is because we have cold water in Korea that our seafood tastes different. Its flesh is firmer,' noted Lee. According to Masashi, the difference in texture is also due to the contrast in preparation methods. The practice of ikejime is not a common practice among local fishermen here. A Japanese method of dispatching fish, ikejime prioritises the quality and flavour of flesh by minimising stress and speed of death. The technique involves inserting a spike into the fish's hindbrain to induce immediate brain death, followed by bleeding the fish to further enhance its quality. 'This process affects the quality, as it is important for the fish. I noticed a lot of fishermen here do not practice the process. So, the quality and flavour are different from the Korean seafood,' shared Masashi. Son echoed similar remarks, noting the difference in taste and flavour would entice local food enthusiasts. 'How the fish and crustaceans are kept is also different. That really matters as it affects the quality. So, I am sure Malaysians would be open to trying out seafood that is prepared differently,' Son claimed. Wealth of options Lee-Lepinoy is aware of the rich options of local seafood in Malaysia. She often indulges in chilli and pepper crabs any chance she gets, considering herself a lover of local seafood. With the introduction of these new seafood offerings, the former chef simply aims to widen the choice of options and not overshadow the local offerings. 'My top priority is to maintain the quality of the Korean seafood with good consistency. I am also not persuading locals to buy immediately. I am just letting them know that there is a different option,' she said. Lee-Lepinoy, therefore, aims to continue implementing various promotional activities to raise awareness about the Korean goods. From collaborating with renowned chefs to carefully sourcing goods, she expressed hopes to continue sharing her love for Korean goods with Malaysians. 'It is step by step. I am not in a hurry to sell everything immediately. But if we find success with seafood like the Hanwoo beef, I will continue to introduce more goods from Korea. That is my strategy,' she concluded. The seafood offerings are now available at Culina Kuala Lumpur in Four Seasons Shoppes. Shoppers, restaurant owners and chefs can purchase it from RM237.40 for 100g. Alternatively, customers can select and have it served at Culina Bistro for RM178 onwards.
