The Goods from Minami

Vancouver, BC | To celebrate the day of love, Yaletown’s contemporary Japanese restaurant Minami (1118 Mainland Street) has revealed a one-day-only Valentine’s Day Shokai dinner. Available exclusively on February 14, 2022, executive chef Alan Ferrer, pastry chef Nikki Tam, and the team have created a menu featuring bright flavours and artfully crafted surf and turf dishes, Aburi sushi, and an indulgent-worthy dessert.

“Our Shokai tasting menus are some of our most popular, and we definitely want to continue elevating the dining experience at Minami with new dishes for Valentine’s Day,” says Alan Ferrer, executive chef of Minami. “For many, dining out during these challenging times is even more meaningful, and our team has fine-tuned the menu many times to make something extra special.”

We hope our guests will enjoy!”
