Michelin-recognized Zuicho at Mandarin Oriental offers an intimate Japanese fine dining experience centred on Omakase Kappo cuisine. Seated at the counter, guests can watch the chef at work and engage in a personal dining journey that brings together seasonal ingredients, precise preparation and Japanese culinary tradition. Behind the brand is Chef Fumio Suzuki, whose vision extends across Tokyo, Macau, Hong Kong and Singapore, with the Hong Kong and Macau restaurants awarded Michelin stars. Crafted daily around seasonal produce, the menu unfolds in a refined setting, complemented by a curated selection of wine and sake.

The Nagomi menu begins with Steamed Abalone from Shimane, Fish Somen and Gingko Nuts, followed by Fried A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Tenderloin with Kinome Salt and the Chef’s Selection of Sashimi. Ingredient introductions add depth to the experience, highlighting Katsuo from Iwate, also known as Bonito or Skipjack Tuna, and Kinmedai from Chiba, prized for its buttery texture and clean sweetness. Hokkaido Hairy Crab Rice Porridge brings comforting richness before Steamed Tilefish from Oita with Pine Mushroom from Bhutan, pairing the fish’s delicate sweetness with Matsutake’s distinctive pine aroma and earthy umami. A Tuna Handroll follows, with an optional Sea Urchin add-on at $58, before Hokkaido Salmon and Salmon Roe Takikomi Claypot Rice and Homemade Dessert complete the meal. For sake lovers, the “Shun” pairing offers five types at $180, while “Wa” features four types at $110.
