CHERRY BLOSSOM AT MIKURIYA

With the arrival of spring and the blossoming of the cherry trees, a season of lightness, beauty and quiet appreciation for special moments begins – also at MIKURIYA.

The name MIKURIYA means “a kitchen where food is prepared for special guests.” At the heart of the concept is one word: “Omakase” – translated as “I leave it up to you.” This term comes to life when you entrust our chef, Atsushi Hiraoka, with the decision of what will be served. It is a style of dining that is deeply honoured in Japanese culture. Omakase is intimate, educational and sparks curiosity. At the counter, Atsushi Hiraoka prepares his specialties in front of the guests, creating an experience that engages all the senses.

The restaurant has been awarded 17 GaultMillau points.

«Omakase» – translated: «I leave it up to you». At dinner in the MIKURIYA restaurant, chef Atsushi Hiraoka enters into a culinary dialogue with his guests and gives free rein to his innovative and artistic talent. Eggs, fish and meat are lovingly shaped into kappo-style sushi right before the guests’ eyes as the chef reveals one or two of the secrets of Japanese cuisine.

Upon request, sake, shochu or Japanese beer are offered to accompany selected courses. It is the perfect accompaniment to this traditionally light cuisine, which focuses on the delicate original flavours of the ingredients – particularly in the case of sushi – and contains the subtlest of seasoning.

With over 30 years of experience spanning Japan and Switzerland, this gastronomic multi-talent has acquired a wealth of knowledge and expertise.

Indulge in the exquisite craftsmanship of Sushi Chef Atsushi Hiraoka’s dishes and discover the extraordinary fusion of Japanese and Swiss culinary traditions. Welcome to a new era of gastronomic delight at the Dolder Grand—where innovation meets tradition and the artistry of «Omakase» takes center stage.
