Haku Martini x ORA

Overview

Leave everything to the chef at the expansive and moody omakase restaurant, ŌRA. Make your evening even more special with a complimentary Haku martini paired with the first choice of the special omakase menu.

ŌRA is located down an unassuming street in a renovated warehouse. You could walk past and never even know that a culinary haven awaits inside. We sat down with Head Chef Nobuyuki Ura to chat about his history of becoming a hatted chef and what he loves about omakase.

What sets ŌRA apart from the other stunning omakase restaurants in the city is the unique use of space. Unlike many of the other small and intimate venues, ŌRA makes use of its warehouse surroundings to provide three different offerings to its guests: a central bar with fusion food offerings,  a cocktail lounge and a marble ten-seater chef's counter for omakase.

Omakase literally translates to 'I'll leave it up to you' — it's a culinary performance where diners can witness the skills of the chef as each dish is carefully created and presented to the trusting guests. Each month, a new menu is created by Chef Ura, showcasing the freshness and seasonality of the produce.

If you want to level up your omakase experience, from Wednesday, November 1, until Sunday, December 3, all seatings at ŌRA will begin with a complimentary bespoke Haku martini, the Barley Breeze Plum martini.

Haku Vodka's signature serve is the Haku martini — a drink that showcases the craftsmanship, nuanced flavour and exceptional quality of the premium Japanese liquid. To learn more, head to the House of Suntory website.
