Sushi Kissho by Miyakawa is the first international outpost founded by Chef Masaaki Miyakawa. With an impressive legacy as one of the elite six Japan-based sushi masters to have held three MICHELIN stars, and previously the Head Chef at one of only three sushi restaurants outside of Japan to earn this prestigious distinction, Chef Miyakawa brings his unparalleled mastery of Edomae sushi to the heart of Raffles at Galaxy Macau™️.

Seasonal Omakase Journey with Chef Masaaki Miyakawa on 12, 14 & 15 November

At Sushi Kissho by Miyakawa, overseen by Chef Masaaki Miyakawa, guests can indulge in a dinner omakase experience at the sushi counter priced at MOP2,888 + 15% per guest (5 appetisers + 10 sushi + soup + egg omelette + dessert), with a beverage pairing option priced at MOP1,388. The seasonally rotating menu highlights the freshest ingredients sourced from the pristine waters of the North Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan, procured from Miyakawa’s own trusted suppliers and generational fishermen.

The experience begins with an array of seasonal appetisers such as delicately steamed Kagoshima Tilefish served with turnip; and Black Abalone with Liver Sauce, a signature dish from Chef Miyakawa’s acclaimed three-MICHELIN-starred restaurant in Sapporo. This dish features black abalone from Shimane Prefecture that has been nourished with kombu to enhance its liver, then slow-cooked with water, sake, and kombu algae for three hours, served with a decadent sauce crafted from abalone broth and liver.

Begin the wine pairing experience with N.V. Chitose Winery, Kerner ‘Kimura Vineyard’, selected for its shared origin of Hokkaido with Chef Miyakawa’s three-starred flagship restaurant. Crafted using the Champagne method, the wine features fine bubbles, subtle pear and toast aromas, and a refreshing citrus flavour to kick off the dining experience. Appetisers are further elevated with the exceptional 2013 Bonneau du Martray ‘Corton-Charlemagne’ Grand Cru, exemplifying the epitome of Grand Cru quality. The wine’s elegant nuances and refined character make it a perfect companion to seafood dishes, enhancing the delicate flavours of the ocean.

This is followed by an impeccable sushi selection featuring delicacies such as Chu-Toro (Medium Fatty Tuna from Aomori), which is aged for a week before being marinated in a home-brewed soy sauce for up to five hours; live Kuruma Ebi (Prawn from Kagoshima), which is lightly blanched to maximise the fresh taste and sweetness; and Kohada (Gizzard Shad Kumamoto), a staple of Edomae sushi that is marinated in salt and vinegar, and prepared with homemade shrimp powder to reduce acidity and increase freshness. Each dish is meticulously prepared to highlight Chef Miyakawa’s precision and creativity, promising a harmonious blend of flavours and textures.

Enhancing the sushi offering is the exclusive Wa8 Gold Label Junmai Daiginjo sake, an extraordinary collaboration between Sumikawa Shozo Brewery and Wa Creations, showcasing Yamada Nishiki rice milled to 28% to create this exclusive sake that is available only in limited quantities. The exquisite Juyondai Honmaru Hiden Tamakaeshi Tokubetsu Honjo sake from Yamagata, Japan, is another exceptional pairing for sashimi, enhancing the umami flavours with its refreshing and sweet notes, complemented by a velvety texture and an off-dry finish.

The omakase journey culminates with traditional Miso Soup, Tamago (Omelette), and a delightful autumn Dessert. Indulge in the final decadent pairing of Suntory Yamazaki Cask Umeshu Whisky Blend, aged meticulously in toasted Yamazaki casks within the legendary Yamazaki Distillery’s walls. Its luscious amber hue and intricate blend, incorporating whisky aged in umeshu casks, offer a harmonious marriage of flavours.

Artful Reverence: Finding Beauty in Natural Simplicity

Sushi Kissho by Miyakawa prides itself on its authenticity, echoed in its sleek open design inspired by wabi-sabi—a Japanese appreciation for natural simplicity. The use of materials like Kiso Hinoki Cypress wood highlights this ethos. The minimalist design prioritizes the dining experience, focusing on the intimate connection between the sushi master and guest in the essence of omakase sushi.

The refined sushi counter is handcrafted from a 300-year-old Kiso Hinoki Cypress tree sourced in Nagano Prefecture, showcasing natural grain and a signature maple leaf inlay by master craftsman Mr. Tomita. Kiso Hinoki Cypress, revered for its sacred use in Japanese shrines and temples, enhances the restaurant’s ambiance. Intricately curated art pieces complement the dining experience, reflecting the precision of sushi preparation and condiment crafting, with a collection that captures the culinary journey’s artistry. The main dining room features ceramics by the Miyagawa family, renowned for their 11-generation legacy in ceramic-making since the Edo period, complemented by antique Ikebana baskets from Kyoto.

At Sushi Kissho by Miyakawa, the art of sushi transcends sustenance; it is a celebration of the profound connection between nature, tradition, and the human spirit. Guests are invited to embark on a gastronomic journey that will transport them to the very heart of Japan, guided by the masterful touch of one of the world’s most renowned sushi chefs.
