Galaxy Macau Celebrates Yamazato’s Debut in 2026 Black Pearl Restaurant Guide with Refined Kaiseki Experience
Complementing an orchard-themed dreamy tea set by two master pâtissiers, a series of fascinating delicacies is presented by Galaxy Macau in April
MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 April 2026 -In celebration of its ascent to One Diamond status in China’s prestigious Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, Galaxy Macau’s Japanese fine‑dining destination Yamazato proudly unveils the Black Pearl Tasting Kaiseki — a refined and contemplative culinary expression that honours seasonality, precision and the quiet elegance intrinsic to Japanese haute cuisine. Framed by sweeping panoramic views across Galaxy Macau landscape, the experience captures the fleeting beauty of nature through an artful and disciplined gastronomic lens.
At the helm, Executive Chef Hideaki Hayashi and his culinary team invite guests on a pristine gastronomic journey shaped by meticulous craftsmanship and profound reverence for ingredients. Each kaiseki course is composed with thoughtful intentions, drawing upon the season’s finest offerings, be it produce from the sky, the sea and the land. Every detail — subtle aroma, layered texture, nuanced flavours, and elegant presentation — is harmoniously orchestrated to awaken the senses and express the restrained poetry at the heart of Japanese culinary artistry.
The Black Pearl Tasting Kaiseki is priced at MOP 1,980+ per guest and is available Tuesday to Sunday, from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm.
Floral Tea Set in the Orchard Setting of CHA BEI
This spring and summer, Galaxy Macau unveils an enchanting new afternoon tea experience at CHA BEI, co‑created by Executive Pastry Chef Yam Lok Hin and internationally revered Meilleur Ouvrier de France Pâtissier 2023 Pierre‑Henri Roullard. Inspired by a radiant garden in full bloom, the Orchard in Bloom afternoon tea invites guests on a refined journey through delicately balanced savoury and sweet creations, infused with flowers, fruits and tea leaves. Within the serene surroundings of CHA BEI, the brilliance of the spring and summer season is reimagined as a tranquil, storybook orchard, where flavour and artistry flourish in harmony.
The experience opens with Lavender Breeze, a graceful floral welcome that sets the tone for a series of garden‑inspired delights, where seasonal ingredients are transformed into elegant edible jewels. Bright citrus notes, sun‑ripened fruits and fragrant botanicals come together across exquisite pastries and artfully crafted savouries, each reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and creative imagination. Available throughout spring and summer, this inspired collaboration blossoms as a celebration of colour, texture and taste — where two distinct pastry visions unite in a symphony of refined indulgence.
Priced at MOP598+ for two, “Orchard in Bloom” afternoon tea will be available between 2:30pm and 5:30pm every day, from now until August 31.
Alongside these sumptuous delicacies, Galaxy Macau has prepared a series of fascinating dining promotions this April and beyond:

Robust Demand Ahead: 75% of Consumers Plan Jewellery Purchases, with Natural Diamonds Leading
Self-reward joins birthdays as a key driver of Hong Kong’s natural diamond market, new consumer survey reveals
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 April 2026 – Coinciding with World Diamond Day on April 8, NielsenIQ released its latest jewellery gifting study. The study offers a practical guide for those who are looking for meaningful gifts for significant gifting occasions such as the forthcoming Mother’s Day. The study reveals that despite an increasingly complex macroeconomic environment, Hong Kong’s natural diamond jewellery market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, consumer intent remains strong, with 75% of consumers planning to buy jewellery in the next 12 months and 76% of them specifically considering natural diamonds.
The study also highlights a growing cultural shift towards self‑purchase and the celebration of life’s most personal moments, reaffirming that the impulse to give—to oneself as well as to loved ones—continues to underpin demand.
At the same time, shoppers are placing greater emphasis on assurance and transparency, with traceability and value‑added services becoming increasingly influential in shaping both where—and what—they choose to buy. Together, these shifts highlight a market in which trust, service excellence and authenticity are emerging as powerful drivers of differentiation.
Key insights to understand consumer preferences and behaviour:
- The Rise of the “Self-Reward”: Rewarding oneself has emerged as a key driver of jewellery buying, with 57% of consumers planning to buy for themselves. The primary reason for these self-purchases is to reward oneself (55%), followed by celebrating special occasions (33%) and personal enjoyment or collection (32%). This trend sits alongside traditional romantic gifting for spouse/partner (42%), signaling a broader shift towards personal empowerment and self-celebration.
- Celebratory Moments Top the Gifting Calendar: The most frequent jewellery‑gifting occasions are the annual milestones of everyday life. Birthdays (51%) and anniversaries (42%) remain the primary drivers for both giving and receiving jewellery, while engagements and weddings (31%) as well as Valentine’s Day (31%), continue to hold significant importance.
- Marking Special Occasions Matters Most: When purchasing for others, marking a meaningful occasion is the primary gifting driver (50%), followed by expressing love or care (36%) and the desire to surprise or delight someone (33%).
- The Informed Consumer: Traceability and Added-value Services Take Centre Stage: Price remains a key consideration (55%) when selecting natural diamonds, but consumers weigh this against the 4Cs (38%), design (37%), and certification (36%). Traceability matters to 70% of natural diamond intenders, while 80% say value-added services significantly boost their purchasing confidence.
Intrinsic and Emotional Values
The research reveals that natural diamonds are increasingly woven into the fabric of daily life and personal achievement. Consumers strongly associate natural diamonds with intrinsic, lasting qualities: 75% believe they hold their value better due to their rarity and finite supply, and 73% view each stone as one of a kind. Beyond the investment, however, lies a deep emotional connection. Nearly three-quarters of respondents (72%) expressed that natural diamonds bring them joy to wear and can be worn every day to match their outfits.
These emotional and symbolic associations are reflected in consumers’ natural diamond jewellery purchasing habits: rings (55%), necklaces (49%), earrings (42%), and bracelets (41%) emerge as the most popular categories. Mid‑sized stones (68%), ranging from approximately 0.5 to 1.49 carats, are the preferred choice. Spending tends to concentrate in the mid‑range, particularly between HK$10,000 and HK$20,000 (31%), followed by the HK$20,000 to HK$30,000 range (22%). Most consumers (46%) prefer to choose jewellery based on design rather than a fixed style, with 18K white gold the primary material choice (34%), followed by 18K rose gold (18%).
Online Discovery Meets In-Store Trust
Despite the digital age, the desire for a tangible experience endures. A commanding 75% of consumers prefer to purchase in-store, with 35% insisting on completing their entire transaction offline. Transparency bridges the two worlds—70% of natural diamond intenders cite traceability as important, underscoring the growing expectation for credible and accessible product information that reinforces the confidence of physical retail.
Strong Receiving Intentions Signal Continued Momentum
Looking ahead, consumer expectations for receiving diamond jewellery remain exceptionally high. 74% of respondents anticipate receiving jewellery in the next 12 months, and among them, an overwhelming 85% hope to receive natural diamonds. Special occasions (47%) are the most anticipated reason for receiving, with birthdays (54%), anniversaries (44%), Valentine’s Day (40%) and engagements and weddings (35%) leading the calendar. These figures underscore a confident outlook for the natural diamonds industry.
The consumer survey, conducted by NIQ from 27 January to 11 February 2026, involved a total of 572 participants aged 18-54 through various online channels. Among the respondents, 24% were male and 76% were female, with the majority (77%) being married, engaged, or in a relationship. Commissioned by De Beers Group, NIQ managed the design and data analysis of the survey.
