Hidden behind its signature veil of intrigue, Himitsu introduces The Sake Series, a
curated exploration of Japan’s most revered spirit. Available Thursday to Sunday, this new ritual invites guests
to discover sake through a collection of tasting flights and pairings that celebrate the craft and character of
sake.
The experience is presented in two chapters. The first, The Himitsu Sake Series, features four tasting flights
(two sakes per flight, no food) priced from AED 40, and the second, The Four Seasonal Paths, offers seasonal
pairings (two sakes + small plates) priced from AED 95, moving through Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
The Himitsu Sake Series
The Himitsu Sake Series introduces four curated tasting flights, priced from AED 40, each featuring two distinct
sakes chosen to showcase a particular facet of Japanese brewing. Guests can explore The Earth’s Whisper,
pairing two expressions that highlight clarity and umami depth; Blossoms in Balance, where floral and fruity
notes create harmony; Wings of Elegance, a study in refinement and precision; and Clouds & Bubbles, a
playful contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern effervescence. Together, these flights offer a
guided journey through Japan’s finest sake styles, one sip at a time.
The Four Seasonal Paths
For guests looking to explore further, The Four Seasonal Paths offers a tasting journey inspired by Japan’s four
seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each pairing combines two sakes with complementary small
plates, designed to mirror the flavours and emotions of the season. Think hamachi carpaccio and spicy tuna
handrolls for spring’s freshness, unagi nigiri and prawn tempura maki for the richness of summer, and so on.
Prices start from AED 95, with each pairing designed to take guests through a progression of flavours that
reflect the changing moods of the seasons.
Available from Thursday to Sunday, The Himitsu Sake Series invites guests to slow down, sip, and see sake
through a new lens, quietly, behind closed doors.
