Overview
Attention Sydney foodies, fans of Japanese cuisine and connoisseurs of fine dining. Get ready to savour the flavours of omakase dining as Concrete Playground and Haku Vodka offer you the chance to win a $2500 restaurant voucher to omakase restaurant Besuto.
Omakase literally means 'I'll leave it to you', and when you sit down at one of the 14 counter seats at the intimate (and hatted) restaurant, you'll have found yourself left in truly exceptional hands.
The harbourside restaurant, Besuto, sits in the Quay Quarter Lanes precinct. It is co-owned by Joel Best (chef, seafood expert and self-professed Japanophile), Hirofumi Fujita (an expert sushi chef) and Tomi Björk (the Finnish celebrity chef), who made an elite Japan-meets-Sydney dining experience their mission.

"I love sitting down at a seat and allowing the chefs to decide what is going to be served," Best starts. "It's the best of the best of the day. Besuto is a passion project cos I love sitting in the chair."
Accompanying this journey is a curated drinks menu and, right now, a bespoke Haku Martini. With the central ingredient of Haku Vodka — a craft spirit from the House of Suntory — the cocktail delivers umami notes through an infusion of nori, dry vermouth and a garnish of pickled ginger. The Haku Martini will be served during an exclusive 15-course menu at Besuto from Tuesday, October 3 until Friday, November 3.
If you aren't the overall winner of the $2500 restaurant voucher to Besuto, you need not worry. Ten runner-ups will score a bespoke Haku Vodka Gift Pack (valued at $60 each) with a 200ml bottle of Haku, two martini glasses and two Haku martini pins.
