Signature Dishes

  • Saikyo Miso–Grilled Omi Wagyu Tenderloin Steak

    A rare Omi Wagyu tenderloin is marinated in sweet Saikyo miso and grilled to enhance its natural richness. One of Japan’s oldest and most revered Wagyu brands, Omi is rarely seen outside Japan – making its presence in Dubai exceptionally special.

  • Chef’s Seasonal Specialty

    Simmered “lucky” soybeans, tempura of Japanese angelica tree shoots, herb-rolled Omi Wagyu, and young bamboo shoots with kinome dressing highlight the freshness and character of the season.

  • Snow Crab with Chilled Somen Noodles

    Delicate snow crab served with chilled somen noodles offers a light and refreshing contrast. The natural sweetness of the crab pairs beautifully with the smooth, delicate noodles for a refined seasonal dish.

Akinori Tanigawa

Head Chef
At KIGO, Head Chef Akinori Tanigawa's vision touches everything: the farmers and artisans he chooses to work with, the ceramics he selects, the space between one course and the next. His cuisine doesn’t seek to impress, it seeks to express – whether it's the soul of Japan, the spirit of the seasons or the quiet joy of sharing something honest.

“At KIGO, my vision is to honour Japanese seasonality through dishes that are refined, balanced and deeply personal. Every creation is crafted to share not only flavour, but also a sense of story and transience."
