The story

Kazu, Kuala Lumpur – Edomae Sushi Omakase in Bukit Damansara

Kazu is a Michelin-recommended address in Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Damansara where Japanese cuisine is treated with precision and respect. The restaurant houses two distinct experiences under one roof: an Edomae sushi omakase counter and a Japanese-inspired bar.

The omakase room, Sushi Kazu, commits to the Edomae tradition — a style that emphasises meticulous preparation of the finest seasonal ingredients. Each course is presented with a focus on craftsmanship, allowing the quality of the neta and shari to speak for itself.

Adjacent to the sushi counter lies Bā Kazu, described by the team as a sanctuary of alchemy. Here, the focus shifts to a curated selection of rare whiskies and signature cocktails, all conceived with a Japanese sensibility. It is a space that rewards quiet exploration — a counterpoint to the focused meal next door.

Kazu earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for the 2026 guide, a nod to the consistency and integrity of its Japanese cuisine. The dining room is air-conditioned, offers counter seating for an intimate view of the chefs at work, and there is parking available. For those who appreciate a well-chosen pour, the sake list is notable.
