EXPERIENCE OMAKASE

The intimate, ultra luxurious and transporting space features a massive overhanging cherry blossom tree, a Japanese craftsmanship-inspired wallpaper screen, a dramatic marble countertop, a 500-years old hinoki wood cutting board, and wall-mounted niches serving as Members’ chopstick display.

The ever-changing dishes, curated by MILA Omakase’s Executive Chef, Reiji Yoshizawa, evolve according to the 72 Japanese micro-seasons, involving the most refined ingredients such as line-caught fish flown in daily, innovative vegetables and condiments, sea urchin from Hokkaido, bluefin tuna from Ehime prefecture and Bushu-Gyu wagyu beef from Saitama prefecture.

The Heritage of Omakase: A Timeless Tradition

The tradition of "omakase" is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, where guests entrust the chef with their dining selections. This artful approach offers a thoughtfully sequenced meal that begins with delicate flavors and gradually builds to heartier dishes. It showcases a variety of cooking techniques—grilling, simmering, and beyond—creating a rich tapestry of taste.

MILA Omakase is a dynamic experience that evolves with the seasons. The Japanese calendar divides the year into four major seasons, 24 solar terms (sekki), and 72 micro-seasons (Kō), each lasting just five days. These micro-seasons are associated with specific rituals, foods, flowers, and festivals, ensuring that every meal reflects the present moment.
