Hōseki, meaning "gemstone" in Japanese, is a 17-seat sushi counter on the fourth floor of the Bvlgari Resort Dubai on Jumeirah Bay Island. The room is split into two counters that can be booked separately or combined for a fully private dinner, with views over the Dubai skyline. Guests enter through a dedicated tokonoma entry room before taking their seats for an omakase service shaped by the chef's choices and the day's ingredients.
Chef Masahiro Sugiyama, a sixth-generation sushi master carrying a 160-year family lineage, trained in Tokyo and apprenticed at Sushi Kanesaka. He specializes in Edomae sushi and sources ingredients through daily contact with producers in Japan, using Dubai's time difference to coordinate with Japanese markets each morning before product is flown in.
Hōseki holds one Michelin star from the Michelin Guide Dubai, awarded since 2022, and was ranked 26th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list for the Middle East & North Africa in 2023. Lunch service runs Thursday to Sunday, and dinner is served Wednesday to Sunday across two seatings. The restaurant sits in the top price tier for Dubai dining and is classed as very hard to book, so reservations should be arranged well in advance. Booking is handled directly by phone or email rather than through a walk-in or online system.
