Chef Hiroyuki Sato has spent much of his career working in renowned sushi and kaiseki ryori restaurants in Japan. He joined Sushi Tokami, one of the top 100 among the 5,000 sushi restaurants in Tokyo, as the Chief Chef and soon earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 2014. Gifted with a keen sense for sushi ingredients, Chef Sato was recently appointed Executive Chef of Sushi Tokami, Hong Kong. Like Omakase, Sushi Tokami takes advantage of the freshest and finest ingredients available at the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo.
Guests at the June 8 and 10 events will enjoy Chef Sato’s exquisite sushi, as well as the finest Wagyu beef from Kobe, Japan, which will be incorporated into appetizers, nigiri sushi and steak dishes. The founder of Wagyu Direct, Wagyumafia and Viva Japan, Hisato Hamada is at the forefront of exporting wagyu beef, helping local farmers increase their business, and thus attract new, younger farmers to ensure this important Japanese tradition continues.
Ruinart and Dom Pérignon are presenting a selecting of five pairings for the guest chef series featuring: Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, Ruinart Rosé, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004, Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2004, and Dom Pérignon P2 Vintage 1998. Following dinner, guests will have the opportunity to purchase rare and prestigious vintages from both houses.
“I am honored and excited to bring this once-in-a-lifetime dining experience to the heart of San Francisco,” said Kash Feng, owner of Omakase. “At Omakase, we pride ourselves on showcasing the very best of Japanese cuisine and service. I am pleased to welcome Chef Sato, one of Japan’s most talented sushi chefs, to our city along with the top purveyor of Japanese beef and vintage Champagne for the ultimate dining experience.”
