Curated by a Japanese and a European chef, the courses at Saki include surprises to rankle purists while delighting the rest of us.
Walking into Saki, a Japanese kappō-style restaurant serving omakase (chef’s choice) on the 29th floor of the JW Marriott Tokyo, the mind wanders upon seeing the view.

First opened in October 2025 alongside the luxury hotel itself, Saki is the brainchild of two chefs: Emmanuel Stroobant, who runs the two-Michelin-starred contemporary French restaurant Saint Pierre, and Kazumine Nishida, who helms the two-Michelin-starred sushi restaurant Shoukouwa.
Both establishments are in Singapore.
