The Goods from Miku Restaurant

Vancouver, BC | This December, Coal Harbour’s award-winning contemporary Japanese restaurant, Miku (70-200 Granville Street), presents a new Holiday Kaiseki menu to celebrate the festive winter season. Available for the month of December, guests are invited to experience Miku’s warm omotenashi (wholehearted hospitality), while indulging in a delicious seven-course dinner created by head chef Martin Simicek and pastry chef Isabelle Valencia.

Miku first launched its seasonal kaiseki tasting menu eight years ago with a goal to combine meticulous preparation, beautiful presentation, and an element of surprise to deliver a memorable meal – all presented on artisanal Arita-Yaki plateware from Japan.

“We’re excited for guests to try our new Holiday Kaiseki, where we continue to highlight premium ingredients, such as Kristal caviar and Iwate A5 Wagyu, together with local offerings and fresh, sustainable seafood,” explains Simicek, who has worked alongside Aburi Restaurants Canada executive chef Kazuhiro Hayashi since 2017. “It’s truly a symphony of flavours as each course is enjoyed – starting with our delicate consommé and ending with our exquisite dessert.”

Miku’s Holiday Kaiseki ($195++ per person) is available during dinner service, from December 1 to 31, 2023. Reservations can be made online or via phone at 604-568-3900.
