Fine ‘omakase’ dining, with a twist, at Saki
Curated by a Japanese and a European chef, the courses at Saki include surprises to rankle purists while delighting the rest of us.
Upon entering Saki, a Japanese kappō-style restaurant on the 29th floor of the JW Marriott Tokyo, one's attention is immediately drawn to the breathtaking view. The Tower Bridge, gleaming buildings of Odaiba, and the ever-changing landscape of Tokyo Bay create a stunning backdrop that begs the question: can the dining experience match such a picturesque setting?
Saki, which opened in October 2025 alongside the luxury hotel, is the brainchild of two accomplished chefs: Emmanuel Stroobant, known for his two-Michelin-starred contemporary French restaurant Saint Pierre, and Kazumine Nishida, who runs the two-Michelin-starred sushi restaurant Shoukouwa in Singapore. The restaurant's innovative approach to omakase dining offers a unique twist on traditional Japanese cuisine.
