Takayama, the creation of Chef Taro Takayama in OUE Downtown Gallery, is sparking enthusiasm this December with a gastronomic voyage through the rich flavours of Tottori Prefecture. The restaurant, which is already known for its traditional Japanese fare, is unveiling two carefully created omakase menus for both lunch and supper, highlighting the best of Tottori's land and sea.
Tottori's Bounty Tottori Prefecture, tucked along the East Sea, boasts a clean shoreline and enormous sand dunes—a rare sight in Japan. Takayama seizes the chance to bring this untouched charm to customers' plates, providing the finest foods gathered straight from Tottori's rich natural surroundings.
Dinner Extravaganza
For dinner fans, the restaurant offers two precisely planned menus: an 8-course option for $280 and a more complex 9-course adventure for $350. The feast opens with a female snow crab, delicately paired with Tottori pear and carrots, effortlessly mixing sweetness from both land and sea. The menu develops with seasonal pleasures like Shirako, Otsukuri sashimi, and a delightful Monaka, a Japanese rice cracker sandwiching foie gras mousse.
The tantalising Tottori 'Nebarikko' Yam, cooked to perfection with Hokkaido abalone and uni, steals the show as the main dish. The Miya z aki Wagyu, served shabu-shabu style in white miso broth, and a distinctive Donabe Rice topped with ikura round out the experience.
A Lunchtime Symphony
Takayama provides two tantalising omakase lunch options for those looking for a midday treat. The 5-course Weekday Special ($130++) and the 7-course Symphony of Flavours ($150++) guarantee a lovely vacation. Lunch begins with abalone served with tuna or yuba.
The culinary experience continues with Otsukuri fresh sashimi and a Monaka with foie gras and yuzu. The main course is Japanese Grouper, delicately grilled to preserve its natural flavour, with the option of upgrading to Miyazaki Wagyu for an extra $30.
The finale is Donabe Rice with Tottori salmon and ikura, followed by a sweet conclusion with Matcha ice cream, red bean and shiratama, and a Hojicha financier.
Immerse Yourself in Takayama's Omotenashi
In keeping with Takayama's commitment to omotenashi, visitors are treated to a unique dining experience in the restaurant's 1,184 square-foot, 32-seater room. The ambiance is designed to encapsulate the essence of Tottori, ensuring that every mouthful is a trip across Japan's culinary environment.
