About
Chef Michiaki Miyazaki's training at Kikunoi Honten in Kyoto — one of Japan's most prestigious kaiseki restaurants, holding three Michelin stars — sets Besuto apart from Sydney's other omakase offerings. The 15-course menu at AUD 280 per person blends classic kaiseki principles (seasonality, restraint, ingredient purity) with a modern sushi omakase structure, producing an experience that is simultaneously rigorous and approachable. Highlight dishes include miso-glazed toothfish and a succession of expertly prepared sushi and sashimi courses. Bookings open on the first of each month at 9am and sell quickly. Bar Besuto, accessible after dinner, stocks an exceptional range of Japanese single malts and rare shochu, extending the evening into an exploration of Japan's spirits culture.
