The Goods from Minami

Vancouver, BC | Yaletown’s destination for contemporary Japanese cuisine, Minami (1118 Mainland Street), is ringing in the New Year in-style with two exclusive NYE Shokai experiences, including a “countdown to 2024” seating. Guests are invited to enjoy a seven-course menu curated by executive chef Alan Ferrer and sous chef Lupe Villanueva, featuring its popular surf and turf options – Iwate A5 Wagyu, lobster, sashimi, and Aburi sushi. Reservations are now available online.

“There is usually so much celebration in the air during New Year’s Eve, and we wanted to capture that spirit with our new NYE Shokai menus,” says Seigo Nakamura, Founder and CEO of ABURI Restaurants Canada. “Our team has done a great job organizing what is sure to be a memorable night, and we look forward to having our guests dine with us and kick-off 2024 together!”

The two Minami NYE Shokai experiences include an early seating for $188 per person or the Countdown at Minami option for $224 per person. The Countdown at Minami experience includes a complimentary glass of Piper-Heidsieck, live music, and photobooth.
