Experience the culinary delights of ancient Kyoto in Saigon.

For two nights only, on April 10th and 11th, 2026, Ômm proudly presents “The Kaiseki – Kyoto Meets Saigon”. This exclusive event offers a unique culinary intersection where the modern spirit of Japanese Kaiseki meets the contemporary inspiration of Saigon.

Food connoisseurs in Ho Chi Minh City will soon have the chance to experience a distinguished high-end dining event. It is a refined dialogue between traditional Japanese culinary philosophy and the vibrant, modern pulse of the "Pearl of the Far East."

A Meeting of Like-Minded Souls

The event will be hosted at Ômm Mixology & Gastronomy — an intimate space located on the 1st floor of 63 Ho Tung Mau, a rising star on District 1’s fine-dining map. Under the theme "Modern Japanese × Saigon Interpretation," "The Kaiseki" promises a fresh perspective, where the masterful techniques of ancient Kyoto are viewed through the multifaceted and liberal lens of Saigon.

Không gian riêng tư và ấm cúng tại Ômm Mixology & Gastronomy

The core essence of the evening lies in the philosophy of Kaiseki — the pinnacle of Japanese culinary art. Here, guests do not just eat for flavor; they dine to "live slowly," feeling the passage of time through seasonal ingredients, delicate textures, and the meticulous craftsmanship of each presentation. In the heart of a bustling metropolis, this event serves as an invitation to step out of the frantic whirl of life and find total presence in every moment.

The Master Behind the Craft: Chef Dan Tominaga

The centerpiece of this journey is Chef Dan Tominaga, the talented Executive Chef from Another C Kyoto. With a wealth of experience honed in Michelin-starred kitchens in Kyoto, such as Kibune Hiroya and Japanese Cuisine Sakuragawa, Chef Dan possesses a sharp culinary intuition and an absolute respect for the natural essence of ingredients.

Having previously served as Head Chef at the legendary MEGU (New York) — a world-class destination for the international elite in Tribeca — Dan Tominaga has seamlessly blended Eastern discipline with Western open-mindedness. Returning to Japan to found Another C, he continues to pursue a personalized culinary style where every guest is the center of the experience.

Spring Chef's Omakase: A Symphony of Flavors

In Saigon, Chef Dan will personally present the Spring Chef's Omakase Course. This specially designed collection of spring dishes reflects the freshness of flora combined with premium seafood and modern preparation techniques.

A key factor in the allure of "The Kaiseki – Kyoto Meets Saigon" is its absolute exclusivity. To ensure each guest receives the most meticulous attention, the dinner is limited to just 12 guests per night. The space at Ômm transforms into a "miniature stage," where the distance between the chef and the diner is blurred, replaced by a connection built on stories of ingredient origins and creative inspiration.

The Spring Omakase menu goes beyond pure sashimi or melt-in-your-mouth Satsuma Wagyu; it cleverly weaves in local elements of Saigon. This is the fascinating "interpretation" that makes the experience feel both intimately familiar and excitingly new.

Bringing the Spirit of Kyoto to Saigon

If you have ever dreamed of an intimate dinner in Kyoto, Another C is the embodiment of that dream. With only 8 counter seats, Chef Dan’s restaurant is famous for its selection of heirloom Kyoto vegetables (Kyo-yasai), local sake, and premium ingredients. More than just a place to eat, Another C acts as a cultural bridge, offering experiences such as dinners with Maiko or guided tours of the famed Nishiki Market.

Bringing the spirit of Another C to Saigon via Ômm is more than just a commercial collaboration; it is a profound cultural exchange. It is the moment when the quiet, deep beauty of Kyoto meets the dynamic, passionate energy of Saigon, creating an unforgettable "culinary symphony."
