Manila's most exclusive omakase counter — 8 seats, a single nightly seating, and a chef who trained for a decade under sushi masters in Tokyo's Ginza district. Mitsuru Omakase is the closest thing to a top Tokyo sushi experience available in Southeast Asia.
Fish is sourced directly from Tsukiji and Toyosu markets, arriving in Manila via air freight three times weekly. The nigiri progression features seasonal highlights: fatty tuna (otoro), sea urchin (uni), live abalone, and rare flounder (engawa). A5 Wagyu is served as an intermezzo course.
The sake list is among Manila's finest, with Mitsuru offering pairings built around single-origin junmai daiginjo from Japan's leading breweries.
This counter holds a Chef's Counter designation — awarded to Manila's omakase and counter-format restaurants where the head chef's personal sourcing, technique, and philosophy define every aspect of the experience.
