Lotte Tour Development said on the 26th that it will newly introduce a Japanese traditional teppan cuisine, "teppanyaki omakase," for only 12 people a day at Yumeyama, the Japanese restaurant at Grand Hyatt Jeju inside the Jeju Dream Tower Integrated Resort.
Teppanyaki omakase is a Japanese traditional teppan cuisine in which the chef cooks the freshest ingredients of the day on an iron griddle and serves them immediately.
Yumeyama's teppanyaki omakase is limited to 12 people a day (three seatings per day, four guests per seating). The menu is offered as seven and nine courses, priced at 200,000 won and 310,000 won per person, respectively. The number of guests may change depending on circumstances.
The menu includes "jimami tofu," a recreation of Okinawan traditional court cuisine made with Jeju peanuts; "premium Korean beef, known as hanwoo" sirloin using grade 1++; and "clear tilefish soup" made with Jeju tilefish.
The omakase will be overseen by Kakazu Jun, a chef from Naha, Okinawa. He holds certification as a "Ryukyu cuisine successor" from the governor of Okinawa Prefecture and the "Awamori Meister" qualification as a distilled spirits expert.
Chef Kakazu Jun said, "The courses include dishes that reinterpret Okinawan traditional court cuisine, offering a distinctive experience where guests can enjoy both Japan's traditional and modern gastronomy at the same time."
