Chef’s Tasting Menu at Mimi Kakushi

Step into Mimi Kakushi after dark and be transported to a rebellious 1920s Osaka where jazz riffs hum through the room, cocktails sparkle with cinematic flair, and a rising star chef takes centre stage. This chef-led experience is designed as an evening of surprises, celebrating the next generation of culinary talent through an ever-evolving menu that plays freely with Japanese classics, bold technique, and unexpected flavour pairings. Independent in spirit and limitless in expression, the experience captures Mimi Kakushi’s avant-garde soul while honouring the traditions that shaped it.

Guests are guided through a sequence of chef’s surprise plates, presented as a flow of hot and cold dishes made for sharing. Expect sashimi and sushi that push boundaries, tempura and gyoza reimagined with playful twists, and kushi grilled with precision and flair, each course revealing the chef’s personal signature and creative instincts. Larger moments arrive with dishes such as miso-glazed Black Cod or deeply savoury Kagoshima Wagyu, anchoring the menu with richness and restraint before giving way to an eclectic, jazz-era-inspired finale of desserts.

Cocktail pairings are integral to the narrative, drawing from Mimi Kakushi’s celebrated bar program and its love of nostalgia. Each drink is crafted as a counterpoint to the food, cinema-inspired serves, jazz-age references, and Far Eastern botanicals layered with Western technique.
