A Japanese omakase counter on Dempsey Road, where the chef chooses and serves each course in turn. The main seating is the Hinoki Counter, built from hinoki wood that the restaurant describes as 200 years old, so the timber is part of the meal as much as the room. The website describes a sakura-inspired setting and a menu of exquisite dishes made for the counter. Omakase means the diner gives up the choice of each dish, which suits anyone who wants the chef to decide the order of the meal. Dempsey Hill is a quiet pocket of old black-and-white colonial buildings and garden paths, so this is a sit-down dinner rather than a quick lunch stop. Address: 6B Dempsey Road, Dempsey Hill.
