Mimi Kakushi

Dubai

Japanese precision meets opulent Dubai

Where can I find it? Located at the Four Seasons Dubai Jumeirah Beach Restaurant Village, Mimi Kakushi is a sleek, stylish space serving contemporary Japanese cuisine. It takes its name from a popular hairstyle in 1920s Japan.

Style and substance: Not just a place to see and be seen, the culinary offering goes beyond the usual dishes that diners in Dubai have come to expect from a lifestyle concept. Mimi Kakushi's head chef Vladimir Kim is of Russian Korean origin and brings 25 years of experience to his role, presenting a diverse skillset from fiercely traditional dishes to show-stopping platters.

Leading cocktails: In just over two years, Mimi Kakushi's boundary-pushing bar programme, led by Manja Stankovic, has made its presence felt in both regional and global bar scenes, reaching No. 36 in The World's 50 Best Bars 2025 and earning the title of The Best Bar in the Middle East for the third consecutive year.

What's on the menu? Sushi dominates the menu, but there are plenty of other options too. Think kobe beef and wagyu, donabe rice pots and tempting small dishes like bone marrow, beef tartare and fried buns. Don't skip dessert: dishes such as the Hokkaido cheesecake served with yuzu pineapple granita and the chocolate mi-cuit with coconut ice cream continue the East-meets-West theme.

Other group outposts: Mimi Kakushi is part of the Rikas Group, founded by Rizwan Kassim, which includes Ninive, Lana Lusa, Gohan, Twiggy, Tagomago, Eugene Eugene and Xu in its UAE portfolio.
