(SPOT.ph) How does one stop singing praises about Japanese cuisine? It's one where high-quality ingredients shine in the right preparations, and the results speak for themselves—whether you're noshing on succulent nigiri of tuna over rice, a juicy skewer of grilled chicken, or a heady, piping-hot bowl of ramen with meat, noodles, and the works. For two nights next week, you can try some of the best Japanese food available in these parts, all under one roof. Save the date for Mitsute, an upcoming six-hands collaboration dinner between the chefs of Marudori, Kazunori, and Yakitori Ao'chan.

Mitsute six-hands collaboration dinner
Mark your calendars for Mitsute, which takes place at Marudori's Salcedo branch on May 23 and 24. This six-hand collaboration dinner brings together three Japanese masters of different crafts within Japanese cuisine: Chef Kato (formerly of Suijin and currently with Carmona hidden gem Yakitori Aochan), known for his solid yakitori game; Chef Ao'yama, a champion of soul-soothing ramen who works his magic at Marudori; and Chef Kuramochi, who whips up excellent kaiseki at Kazunori.
Two seatings are available per night: 5:30 to 7 p.m. for the first seating, and 8 to 10 p.m. for the second seating. The exact menu is still being finalized, but you can expect the likes of Kuramochi's superb Japanese starters; Kato-san's charred-on-the-outside, succulent-on-the-inside yakitori; and Aoyama-san's decidedly decadent bowls of ramen using a pork and/or chicken base.
You've got two course options to choose from, too: the short course (P2,800/head) which comes with two ramen and yakitori pairings, and the full course (P4,500/head) with more premium starters and three ramen and yakitori pairings—the third being involving their more high-end, umami-rich crab ramen.
