Miku is welcoming the cooler season with the launch of its new fall/winter multi-course Kaiseki menu. This menu is meticulously prepared by their award-winning chefs team. This seven-course tasting experience features seasonally-inspired ingredients, as well as sublime, melt-in-your mouth A5 Iwate Wagyu and Ocean Wise-certified seafood. A staple offering at Miku since 2015, Kaiseki is a traditional Japanese coursed dinner. Miku’s version takes guests on a culinary journey that explores a modern approach to the cuisine. I am a huge fan of the Kaiseki menu at Miku so I’m can’t wait to try the Miku Fall/Winter Kaiseki Menu will be like.
Miku Fall/Winter Kaiseki Menu
Available only throughout dinner service, the new Kaiseki menu is priced at $165 per person, with the option to add sake pairings to each course for an additional $65 per person. Guests can choose between two multi-course menus, Miku Kaiseki and Waterfront Kaiseki, in addition to a Vegetarian Kaiseki:
The seven-course Miku Kaiseki includes:
Tai Dashi
umami soy glazed tai, botan ebi, kaviari caviar
Beef Tartare
egg yolk vinaigrette, whiskey shoyu, scallop-rice crisp
Feature Sashimi
chef’s selection
Hokkaido Scallop
saffron espuma, cauliflower rice
Wagyu Surf & Turf
A5 Iwate Wagyu, sous-vide snow crab, seasonal mushrooms, charred shishito snow
Aburi Prime
chef’s nigiri omakase
Kinako Tiramisu
mango & plum coulis, shiro miso crumble, black sesame ice-cream
Everything on the menu sounds divine but the key stand outs for me are the Beef Tartare, the Hokkaido Scallop (who doesn’t love a good espuma?) and the Kinako Tiramisu. However, that isn’t to say that every dish doesn’t sound fantastic!
