The Japanese flagship of Michelin-starred celebrity chef and restaurateur David Myers marked the occasion by adding innovative dishes to the menu. The elevated menu features traditional Japanese dishes such as Okonomiyaki, Otoro tartare crispy rice caviar, Kyoto vegetarian miso ramen, Kyoto tonkatsu ramen and more. These new dishes along with their classics go perfectly with their signature cocktails. We love Akuna – a tequila-based cocktail brimming with the flavours of passionfruit and ginger ale. Another must-try cocktail is Bob San – a Japanese whisky mixed with egg white, yuzu and lime juice.
