Iketeru reopens with a fresh take on Japanese elegance

Iketeru, the famed Japanese restaurant at Hilton Kuala Lumpur, has reopened with a stunning new look, bringing an elevated dining experience to the heart of the city.

Known for its authenticity and refined cuisine, Iketeru now boasts a refreshed Teppanyaki and Sushi Bar, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with sleek, modern design.

Guests can expect a dining experience like no other, with two new seasonal set menus that highlight the finest seasonal ingredients.

Iketeru: Where tradition meets modern design

The newly renovated Iketeru promises to transport diners into a world of serenity and sophistication.

Upon entering, guests are welcomed by an elegant fusion of modern Japanese aesthetics, featuring a marble-clad sushi bar, bamboo accents, and carefully crafted interiors.

The intimate yet open design allows for an immersive experience, where diners can witness the skilled chefs in action as they prepare delicate sushi and sashimi right before their eyes.

The transformation goes beyond aesthetics.

Iketeru now offers an even more refined culinary journey, with dishes that artfully blend traditional techniques with contemporary flair.

Executive Japanese Chef Kunihiko Hamada has crafted two exclusive seasonal menus: the 8-Course Sushi Set Menu (RM580 nett) and the 7-Course Teppanyaki Set Menu (RM480 nett).

Both menus showcase the best of Japan’s seasonal produce, from the delicate Miwaku no Sushi to the rich Teppanyaki Mix Grill featuring premium striploin, lamb fillet, and chicken breast.

Each dish reflects Iketeru’s dedication to precision, flavour, and presentation.

A curated culinary journey: Iketeru’s seasonal menus

The highlight of Iketeru’s reopening lies in its exclusive seasonal offerings, carefully curated by Chef Kunihiko Hamada.

The 8-Course Sushi Set Menu takes guests on a journey through the finest flavours of Japan, with each sushi piece carefully crafted to highlight the quality and seasonality of the ingredients.

The Teppanyaki Set Menu, on the other hand, offers a hearty selection of expertly grilled meats, perfectly complemented by fresh vegetables and traditional Japanese sauces.

Hilton Honors members can enjoy a special 25% discount on these seasonal menus until the end of October, making it the perfect time to experience Iketeru’s revitalised offerings.

To complement the exquisite dishes, Iketeru offers an exclusive opportunity to savour the Kankaobai Shuzou XL Edition Sake, a premium sake crafted with Yamada Nishiki Rice and water from Mount Suzuka.

Its smooth, well-balanced flavour with hints of fruit and umami makes it the ideal pairing for Iketeru’s sushi and teppanyaki dishes.

Guests can also indulge in Japanese-inspired cocktails and mocktails, featuring unique ingredients like yuzu and matcha, further enhancing the dining experience.

Iketeru’s transformation isn’t just about a new look; it’s about offering an unparalleled dining experience that combines tradition with innovation.

Whether you’re seated at the sleek sushi bar or enjoying the serene view of the lush garden from the traditional seating area, every detail at Iketeru has been thoughtfully designed to create a sense of calm and luxury.

The restaurant’s fresh approach to Japanese dining, coupled with exceptional service and exquisite food, makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a taste of Japan in Kuala Lumpur.
