FIVE — An 8-Course Modern European Journey
Chef Hiroshi Manaka guided guests through a refined tasting menu that brought together Modern European technique and Japanese finesse, with dishes that balanced restraint and expression.

OMAKASE — Wagyu Omakase by Chef Takashi Yamamoto
Across three exclusive seatings, Chef Takashi Yamamoto returned with a Wagyu-focused omakase, showcasing his signature precision and fire-driven approach.

IBUSHI — A Robata-Driven Celebration
Ibushi offered a vibrant, fire-led dining experience, centred on its robata grill and signature dishes such as charred WA octopus, alongside seasonal selections designed for a lively evening.

It was a night that brought together craft, energy, and shared moments across the precinct—marking the close of one year and the beginning of another.
