A gastronomer’s hideaway offering interconnected Japanese experiences, Kissuisen presents a unique venue inspired by the philosophical ‘Godai’ elements: earth, fire, wind and water. Led by Chef Yuichi Mitsui who holds decades of experience serving at leading restaurants in Japan, including Michelin-starred dining destinations, the Kissuisen team carefully crafts each menu concept with fine, seasonal ingredients to capture the essence of Japanese culture. With a guiding concept highlighting interconnected experiences, each visit to Kissuisen presents a unique gastronomic experience that transports guests on an unforgettable exploration. Preface your culinary journey with a stroll through our serene Zen garden, a walkway lined with shades of grey from finely patterned gravel and deep green from bonsai trees. Nestled in the nostalgic Surawongse neighborhood, our dining spaces and private rooms are decorated with natural materials to pay homage to the Japanese art of Zen.
𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 | '𝗖𝗵𝗶': Our homely yet elegant Izakaya greets you upon entering the venue. Indulge in the smoky flavors, brought to you by the binchotan, premium-grade charcoal that adds depth to taste and is celebrated for its purity and versatility. Try the charcoal-seared tuna tataki or aburi braised pork belly, among other decadent Japanese dishes, while you sip on refreshing beverages and cocktails inspired by the four elements. The Izakaya restaurant also extends to an upper mezzanine level where guests are welcomed to dine for more intimacy.
𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀: On the second level of Kissuisen are three separate private dining rooms, each with its unique atmosphere and sleek décor, offering bento style lunches — a variety of authentic dishes including sushi, grilled fish, and pickled vegetables, known to be quintessential for Japanese cuisine.
𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 | '𝗞𝗮': For those seeking an exquisitely interactive dining experience, head upstairs to the Teppanyaki restaurant and let the element of fire enhance your senses. Watch our chefs flame-grill seasonal ingredients – like the Phuket lobster or A4-grade Miyazaki beef – into delicious dishes right before your eyes.
𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 | '𝗙𝘂𝘂': On the fourth level sits our Omakase restaurant, where guests can enjoy seasonal produce with a local twist, using ingredients such as mountain vegetables and selections from the fish market, authentically crafted into exquisite courses by Chef Yuichi Mitsui. Take a look at the complex winding patterns on our walls – inspired by the slow breeze that is enjoyed no matter the season, just like our hand-rolled delicacies.
𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 | '𝗦𝘂𝗶': End the evening with a nightcap — or more — at our outdoor sake bar, the first ever to open in Bangkok. Choose from a wide selection of rare and exclusive Japanese spirits, pure and refined like the element of water, or special sake-based cocktails. To enhance the Kissuisen experience, pair your drinks with decadent small fares offered on our snack menu.
