Kuala Lumpur’s Japanese fine dining scene welcomes a new gem with the opening of Nikaku by Azabu at The Table, Isetan The Japan Store. Building on the legacy of its sister establishment, Sushi Azabu KLCC, Nikaku offers a fresh approach to the omakase experience by seamlessly blending Japanese traditions with local Malaysian flavors.

With a focus on storytelling through ingredients, Nikaku presents two thoughtfully curated menus. The Nikaku Tasting Course (RM288 per person) introduces diners to an 11-dish culinary journey. Highlights include the richly flavored Sabah Clam Soup, the uniquely inspired Braised Swordfish in a Bak Kut Teh-style broth, and the silky Mud Crab Chawanmushi—a symphony of textures and tastes that celebrate both land and sea.

For a deeper exploration of Nikaku’s fusion ethos, the Malaya-Mae Omakase (RM388 per person) elevates the dining experience with bold pairings. Signature dishes such as the Grilled Saba Mackerel with Budu, Lacto Tomato, and Ohba Leaf pay homage to local ingredients while maintaining Japanese precision. Another standout is the inventive Refresher, which combines Shirako, Japanese Yam, and Popiah for a delightful interplay of flavors.

Designed to offer a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, the restaurant’s sushi counter invites diners to immerse themselves in the artistry of preparation. Whether you’re savoring delicate sashimi or bold reinterpretations, each dish promises a balance of craftsmanship and innovation.

Located alongside a curated collection of renowned eateries, Nikaku stands as a beacon of culinary creativity at The Table. For those seeking a fresh perspective on omakase, this new dining destination promises an experience that’s as captivating as it is delicious.
