Meaning “gemstone” in Japanese, Hōseki is a minimalist jewel-box of a destination where guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind gastronomic treat by Chef Masahiro Sugiyama. With just seventeen seats, dining at Hōseki is a unique Omakase experience, the most traditional way to savor Japanese food which means “I leave it to you”. After arriving through a special Tokonoma, or entry room, guests turn their palates over to the whims of the chef. Chef Sugiyama bases his courses on the preferences of those seated at the counter, as well as on the freshest and best ingredients of the day, so no two meals are exactly alike—but every single one is an exceptional journey into the heart of Japan’s culinary tradition. The dining room overlooks the Dubai skyline, so that each intimate dinner is accompanied by a glittering view. The restaurant offers two intimate counters, each available for exclusive reservation, either separately or together for a fully private dining experience. Located on the 4th floor of the Resort, Hōseki is open for lunch and dinner and reservations are required. Hōseki was awarded one Michelin star by The Michelin Guide Dubai since 2022 and 26th Best Restaurant on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Middle East & North Africa 2023.

A sixth-generation sushi master, Chef Masahiro Sugiyama brings a 160-year-old family legacy to his role as Executive Chef at Hōseki. Born and trained in Tokyo, he is a master of Edomae sushi and apprenticed at Sushi Kanesaka. Chef Sugiyama is known for his exacting approach to sourcing fine ingredients and maintains close ties with the most renowned producers in Japan. He communicates with them daily to ensure world-class standards are met with every ingredient. Thanks to Dubai’s time zone, he can coordinate with Japan’s markets early each morning, making it easier to secure the most exceptional culinary treasures, which are then shipped to Dubai.
