The Goods from Miku Restaurant

Vancouver, BC | One of Vancouver’s top contemporary Japanese restaurants is embracing the changing seasons. Aburi Restaurants’ Miku (70-200 Granville Street) and its talented kitchen team have crafted an elegant new Kaiseki menu for the fall/winter season. The multi-course dinner experience spotlights in-season local ingredients, fresh sustainable seafood, and innovative dish creations.

“In Japan, there is a concept of omotenashi, which means wholehearted hospitality,” says executive chef Kazuhiro Hayashi. “The team and I are proud of our new Kaiseki menu, one of my most favourite ones to-date. Every part was considered and each course builds on each other with complementing flavours, hitting all the senses. We are excited for our guests to visit and taste this new experience.”

These limited-time Kaiseki menus have been a staple of Miku dining since 2015. The Miku team has strived to bring this historical Japanese multi-dish into the modern day through tireless experimentation to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience.

The new Kaiseki Experience ($150 per person) is available only during dinner service, with two seating options. Reservations are required, which can be made online or via phone at 604-568-3900.

We are very thankful for the immense support we’ve received during this time and cannot wait to showcase this new menu.”
