Singapore-based Ami Patisserie chef Makoto Arami wins French Pastry Talent of the Year award, Lifestyle News
Chef Makoto Arami, of Singapore-based Ami Patisserie in Scotts Road, has received the Pastry Talent of the Year Award 2025 from French gastronomy guide Le Liste on Monday (June 16). The Japanese chef shares the award with four other chefs and is the only chef from Asia to do so, with the other recipients based in London, Paris, Los Angeles and Dubai. La Liste's World's Best Pastry Shop Selection was introduced in 2022, as a tribute to the passion and artistry of pastry chefs globally and the growing prominence of pastry and desserts in the gastronomy world. The 36-year-old chef was Singapore's sole representative at the awards. Local chef Janice Wong won La Liste's Pastry Innovation Award in 2024. Chef Makoto shared a heartfelt thank you upon receiving this award, in a statement via Ami Patisserie's social media account on June 17. He said: "This recognition means more than I can express — it embodies not just my own journey, but the dedication and spirit of the entire pastry and service team at Ami Patisserie. "It reaffirms our shared commitment to crafting each creation with sincerity and soul." Hailing from Hikone in Shiga prefecture of Japan, Makoto comes from a long line of pastry chefs with his father and grandfather sharing the same profession. The chef's career has taken him across the globe, with stints at Michelin-starred restaurants such as Beige Alain Ducasse in Tokyo to international pastry institutions like Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York. In July 2021, he launched Ami Patisserie as a fine pastry online shop, combining European-style pastry creations with natural flavours of Japanese produce. It wasn't until January last year that Ami Patisserie launched its first physical concept at Scotts Road in Orchard. [[nid:576158]] amierul@
