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 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, featuring in the two most recent rankings of The World’s 50 Best Bars at No.40 and earning the title of The Best Bar in the Middle East & Africa 2023 and 2024. .

Craveable dishes: Good restaurants are often defined by whether they have craveable dishes that keep you coming back for more – and Mimi Kakushi has a slew of them. Namely, the baked bone marrow topped with beef tartare and served with warm buns, and the Hokkaido scallops topped with pollock roe and lime-soy butter.

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.
