KIGO’s Summer Tsumugi Menu Weaves Together Kaiseki Precision and Omakase Intimacy | News
KIGO, the refined Japanese dining destination at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre, presents a new chapter of its Tsumugi Menu, reshaped for summer. Launched on 3 June and priced at AED 980 per person, the six-course seasonal tasting menu created by Head Chef Akinori Tanigawa combines the discipline of Kaiseki with the intimacy of Omakase, offering an experience shaped by the fleeting pleasures of a Japanese summer.
Tsumugi is a Japanese word meaning woven fabric, threads of different origins drawn together into something whole. At KIGO, it names a dining journey that draws from two distinct culinary traditions and unifies them into a single, considered experience. Twelve seats at the counter, unhurried, personal, and intimate, suited for a special evening with a special someone or a quiet summer celebration.
The menu features Scallop and Summer Vegetables with Beetroot Miso Sauce, through Chawanmushi with Green Pea Soup, Black Cod covered with Cha Soba noodles with Uni Pâté, before arriving at the main of Charcoal-Grilled Tajima Wagyu Sirloin, Salt Koji Cured. The experience closes with a Seasonal Sushi Selection with Silken Egg Miso Soup and a Selection of Premium Japanese Fruits. Guests seeking an elevated experience may add the Premium Nigiri Selection, including Uni and Otoro of Seasonal Sushi Selection, at an additional AED 520 per person. Premium beverage pairings are available and charged separately.
For a more intimate experience, guests can enjoy the Tsugumi Menu with a premium nigiri selection in KIGO’s Private Dining Room. Accommodating up to 10 guests and priced at AED 1,500 per person, the serene, Japanese-inspired space offers a private dining experience centred around harmony, craftsmanship and exclusivity.
Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of mono no aware, the bittersweet awareness of impermanence, KIGO’s menus are written by the season, shaped by what the land and sea offer at a precise moment, and experienced only once. The Tsumugi Menu gives form to that philosophy across six courses, each one grounded in summer’s most considered ingredients.
