On Tuesday 17th September, UMU will have the privilege of hosting a prestigious collaboration dinner with Moët & Chandon, featuring the return of former Executive Head Chef Yoshinori Ishii for a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. This special event will showcase a luxurious tasting menu, including dishes such as Scallop and Lobster Tartare with Steamed Abalone and Caviar, Amadai Tempura with Matsutake and Yuzu, and Wagyu Beef Fillet Yuan Yaki with Shiso and Kuro Zu. Each course will be meticulously paired with a rare selection of Moët & Chandon vintage champagnes, including a showstopper 2004 vintage Jeroboam—a bottle as grand in size as the occasion itself—raising a glass to UMU’s milestone 20th anniversary. The evening will celebrate UMU’s remarkable journey and a testament to its enduring legacy in the world of fine dining.

Executive Chef Ryo Kamatsu reflects on the occasion, saying, “It’s a profound honour to reunite with former Executive Chef Yoshinori Ishii, whose exceptional talent earned UMU two Michelin stars. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, this collaboration, alongside our distinguished sake and champagne partners, enables us to elevate our culinary offerings and reinforce our dedication to authentic Japanese cuisine. Our meticulously crafted menus highlight this milestone and promise an unforgettable experience for our guests.”
