The Art of Omotenashi
An intimate Japanese house in Makati.
Tatler Best Restaurants Philippines. A small counter, attentive service, and an evening composed around the day's finest ingredients flown from Japan.
About Us
Japan, brought quietly to your table.
Daimasu — "great celebration" — is an intimate Japanese house in Makati. Each evening, the chef composes a course around the day's finest seafood and produce flown from Japan. The room seats few; every dish is built for the guest in front of it.
Crafted with Restraint
The kitchen works in the discipline of traditional Japanese cooking: knife technique honed over years, a curated sake list selected by hand, and a respect for season that quietly determines the menu. Nothing on the counter exists without intention.
An Invitation, Not a Reservation
Omotenashi is not a service standard — it is the assumption that the meal began the moment you decided to come. Our team learns your name, your seat, your pace. The evening unfolds at the rhythm of the room, never the rhythm of a turn.
