Bangkok, Thailand, May 19, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Bangkok, get ready! Omakase has been redefined – with the dignity of sacred tradition. Welcome to Sushi Mikasa, the new jewel in The Sukhothai Bangkok – a sushi bar so refined it feels less like dinner and more like a ritual.

Named after Japan's Mount Mikasa (御蓋山) – a peak so sacred that only the spiritually pure dared to tread its paths – Sushi Mikasa carries this devotion into every grain of rice, every slice of fish, every silent bow from the chef. It is more than just a meal. It is a ceremony of restraint, reverence, and razor-sharp precision.

The master behind the bar

At the helm: Chef Kensuke Morishima, a Kyoto-born culinary artist whose résumé reads like a Michelin star. Trained in Tokyo's most prestigious kitchens and celebrated in Thailand and Cambodia, Chef Morishima doesn't just prepare sushi – he shapes it with the grace of a calligrapher and the soul of a poet.

From the first crushing of the wasabi to the final brushstroke with nikiri, every movement he makes testifies to decades of discipline. You don't just watch him work – you witness it.

Ingredients so exclusive that they are almost mythical.

Sushi Mikasa doesn't just import ingredients from Japan – it conjures them up:

Soy sauce? Matured in traditional wooden barrels, brewed in villages with perfect climates, and used exclusively in the highest circles of Japanese cuisine.

Wasabi? Hand-picked from Japan's best farms, perfectly seasonally matched, and rubbed on sharkskin boards until it unfolds like wasabi silk.

Red wine vinegar? Fermented for three years from sake yeast, following a tradition dating back to the Edo period – giving depth, complexity and history to every bite.

Sushi rice? Completely sugar-free. It develops its sweetness solely through firmness, fermentation, and time. It matures naturally as it combines with seafood such as melt-in-your-mouth sea urchin and mature tuna.

The result? A mouthfeel that borders on the mystical.

Two menus are offered, each a journey in itself:

OMAKASE course (THB 6,000) – A masterfully balanced introduction

KIWAMI Menu (THB 8,000) – The chef's full expression, worth a pilgrimage.

This is not dinner. This is haiku on a plate, served in the subdued elegance of the oasis of calm at The Sukhothai.

More than a meal – a moment

In an age of sensory overload and culinary TikToks, Sushi Mikasa offers something radical: stillness, depth, intention. No distractions. No gimmicks. Just the art of sushi, practiced at the highest level, rooted in ancient philosophy and served with modern elegance.

For connoisseurs, collectors of experiences, and seekers of the sacred – this is your temple.
