Kasumigaseki - Japanese Restaurant

Kasumigaseki sits on Al Naseem Street in Al Thanyah Third, Dubai, under chef Keigo Abe, who brings more than twenty years of Japanese culinary experience to the kitchen. The menu moves between Edomae sushi, tempura, Genshi-Yaki charcoal grilling, and handmade noodles, with many ingredients flown in from Japan and presented through what the restaurant calls a Neo-Japanese lens.

The restaurant is the first expansion outside Japan for Tokyo-based Kasumigaseki Capital Co., Ltd. The room is built around a counter meant for close attention to the chef's work, set within an interior of black tile and warm, low light. A private VIP room is available for separate dining.

Service runs across lunch and dinner. On Monday through Thursday, lunch runs from noon to 3:30pm and dinner from 5:30pm to 11:30pm. Friday through Sunday, the restaurant operates continuously from noon to 11:30pm, with last orders at 10:30pm across the week. The menu is available in English, and reservations are handled through SevenRooms rather than by phone alone, though a phone line is also listed.

Kasumigaseki is positioned in the luxury price tier, with billing in UAE dirhams. There is no minimum party size noted beyond standard table service, and cash is not required, as cards are accepted.
