Fumitsuki Lunch Kaiseki
Six courses built on the produce at its peak this month, from the sakizuke opener through to a wagashi sweet.
Classic Japanese fine dining on the 24th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok, serving kaiseki, sushi and teppanyaki from breakfast to dinner and listed in the MICHELIN Guide Bangkok. Private rooms, takeaway and delivery are available.
Yamazato is a Japanese kaiseki restaurant on the 24th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok, in the Park Ventures Ecoplex at the corner of Wireless and Phloen Chit roads. It serves seasonal kaiseki, sushi and teppanyaki from breakfast to dinner and suits diners who want classic Japanese fine dining in central Bangkok, from a business lunch to a long anniversary dinner.
Yamazato is a branch of the original restaurant that opened at the Hotel Okura Tokyo in 1962, and it came to Bangkok with the hotel in 2012. Master chef Shigeru Hagiwara supervises the kitchen, and the restaurant has been listed in the Michelin Guide Bangkok since the guide's first Thai edition in 2018. The hotel has direct access to BTS Phloen Chit, and diners reach the restaurant by lift from the Park Ventures lobby.
The à la carte menu is built on kaiseki ryori, the centuries-old form of Japanese haute cuisine in which the season sets each course and the diner follows it. Alongside the main dining room there is a sushi bar stocked from Toyosu market, two teppanyaki tables served as Sazanka, and private rooms including a tatami room where shoes are removed at the door.
Kaiseki sets change on the first of each month and the restaurant marks the Japanese festival calendar with dedicated lunch and dinner menus through the year. Lunch is the gentler introduction: kaiseki sets open at ฿1,700++, while bento, yakizakana gozen and una jyu keep a typical lunch closer to ฿1,000 a head. Dinner kaiseki runs to nine courses over about two and a half hours. The hotel lists lunch from 11:30 to 14:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 22:30 daily; a Japanese breakfast set has also been offered from 06:00, so ask the hotel if you want it. Sushi Yamazato serves dinner from 18:30 and Teppanyaki Sazanka from 18:00 to 22:30.
The room seats 62 across the main floor, eight at the sushi counter and six in each private room. Bookings open 30 days ahead, and the counter seats usually go first. Vegetarian, gluten-free and shellfish-free versions of the full course are prepared with 24 hours' notice, since the house dashi is fish-based and has to be rebuilt from kombu; the kitchen cannot adjust it at the pass.
Online requests can take up to 24 hours to confirm, so phone +66 2 687 9000 for a same-week table. Yamazato appears in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2025, and the sushi counter offers a kaiseki omakase in premium and regular versions.

General
The dinner kaiseki runs through sakizuke, hassun, an owan clear broth, sashimi from the Toyosu delivery, a charcoal-grilled yakimono course, a simmered dish, rice with pickles and miso, and a wagashi sweet with matcha whisked at the table. The composition changes on the first of each month and follows the Japanese festival calendar.
