The Art of Seasonality: Sayori, Kinmedai, and Bafun Uni at Sushi Yorokobu BKK

  • Feb 7
  • 4 min read

In the heart of the city’s most vibrant culinary district, Japanese dining in Bangkok Thonglor has reached a new level of precision.


At Sushi Yorokobu BKK, our philosophy is simple: we don't just serve food; we serve the season. Our current Bangkok Omakase experience is defined by three seasonal masters: the elegant Sayori, the rich Kinmedai, and the indulgent Bafun Uni.


Sayori: The Translucent Beauty of Spring

Often misunderstood as "bland" due to its delicate appearance, Sayori (Needlefish) is a test of a chef’s skill in capturing subtle freshness.


At our 12-seat counter, we highlight the signature "snap" of the Sayori. By meticulously removing the skin to reveal its silver sheen and adding a touch of ginger, we transform this white-fleshed fish from a quiet starter into a vibrant, crunchy, and clean-tasting highlight.

It is the definition of elegance in Japanese cuisine.


Kinmedai: A Masterclass in the "Aburi" Technique

For those who crave depth, the Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper) is a revelation. Many diners expect white fish to be lean, but Kinmedai is prized for its high fat content.


To unlock its potential, our chefs apply the Aburi (torch) technique. The moment the flame touches the skin, the fats emulsify, releasing a smoky aroma and a buttery texture that melts on the tongue. If you've found Kinmedai uninspiring in the past, it’s likely because it lacked this crucial touch of fire that we perfected at Sushi Yorokobu BKK.


Bafun Uni: The Gold Standard of Indulgence

No Omakase in Bangkok is complete without the crown jewel: Hokkaido Bafun Uni.

Unlike lesser grades that can be bitter or watery, our Bafun Uni is hand-selected for its vibrant orange hue and its signature mineral-rich sweetness.


Whether you are enjoying our 12, 14, or 16-course menu, the Uni course is designed to be a moment of pure, creamy bliss—a testament to the high-quality sourcing that defines Sushi Yorokobu BKK.


Choose Your Journey: 12, 14, or 16 Courses

We believe every diner deserves the "Joy" (Yorokobu) of authentic sushi. That is why we offer three distinct tiers for our Japanese dining in Bangkok Thonglor:


  • 12-Course Experience: A perfect introduction to the seasonal highlights.

  • 14-Course Special: A deeper dive into artisanal techniques and rare catches.

  • 16-Course Edomae: The ultimate journey for connoisseurs, featuring our most prized aged fish and delicacies.

Signature Highlights: Innovation Meets Tradition

The 2026 menu features several dishes that have become the talk of the 12-seat counter, specifically due to the meticulous hand-craftsmanship involved.

Price: 2,900 THB

The Concept: The Essential Discovery. This menu is designed for those who appreciate the fundamental beauty of the season. It features a curated selection of premium Nigiri and seasonal appetizers, offering a sophisticated introduction to our Chef’s signature style without compromise.


2. The 14-Course Special

Price: 3,900 THB

The Concept: The Seasonal Narrative. Our most sought-after experience, now refined for 2026. This 14-course journey allows for a deeper exploration of seasonal transitions, featuring specialized techniques such as Kobujime (kelp-curing) and delicate charcoal searing to highlight the natural sweetness of the sea.


3. The 16-Course Edomae

Price: 5,900 THB

The Concept: The Ultimate Expression. For the true connoisseur. This flagship menu focuses on the rarest, auction-grade ingredients available.

This is the pinnacle of the Sushi Yorokobu experience.
