Seasonal Evolution: The 2026 Chapter at Sushi Yorokobu BKK

- 5 min read
n the heart of Bangkok’s vibrant Thonglor district, time is measured not by hours, but by the subtle shifts in the Japanese seasons. At Sushi Yorokobu BKK, our 2026 chapter begins with a celebration of "Shun"—the precise moment when an ingredient reaches its absolute peak.
Led by Chef Tango, our team has curated a journey that honors ancient Edomae traditions while embracing modern culinary precision.
The Opening Act: A Study in Texture and Warmth
Our new seasonal menu begins with a trio of appetizers designed to awaken the palate through contrasting temperatures and textures:
Morel Mushroom Chawanmushi: A silky, steamed custard infused with the deep, earthy aroma of morel mushrooms.
Yuba & Spinach: A clean, elegant preparation of fresh soy skin and seasonal greens, providing a delicate bridge to the heavier flavors to come.
Oyster Ajillo: A modern interpretation where plump oysters are gently poached in low-temperature garlic oil, preserving their oceanic sweetness while adding a sophisticated depth of flavor.
The Aji Seaweed Roll
While traditional Aji (Horse Mackerel) is often served as nigiri, Chef Tango presents it as a crisp roll. The high-quality Nori provides a sharp snap that yields to the rich, oily texture of the Aji, balanced perfectly with freshly grated ginger and spring onions.
The Kurumaebi Mastery
Our Kurumaebi (Tiger Prawn) is a testament to our obsession with detail. Beyond the perfect poach, our chefs extract the prawn’s natural miso (paste), season it, and meticulously re-fill it back into the prawn meat. This ensures that every bite is an explosion of concentrated umami, a technique rarely seen outside the most dedicated counters in Tokyo.
Hokkaido Bafun Uni
No journey at Yorokobu is complete without the "Orange Dream." Our Bafun Uni from Hokkaido is selected for its custard-like creaminess and a clean, sweet finish that serves as a hallmark of our commitment to freshness.
Winter’s Final Farewell: Shirako and the Soul of Tuna
As we move through January, we are approaching the final weeks for Shirako (Cod Milt). This winter delicacy is known for its incredible creaminess and "custard-of-the-sea" texture. At Sushi Yorokobu BKK, we invite you to experience this seasonal treasure before it disappears until next winter.
The journey reaches its crescendo with our Bluefin Tuna (Hon Maguro). From the lean, deep mineral notes of Akami to the legendary O-Toro, our tuna undergoes a precise aging process. The O-Toro, with its intricate marbling, is served at the exact temperature where the fats begin to hum, melting instantly against our seasoned Shari.
Experience the Joy of the Season
At Sushi Yorokobu BKK, we believe that Omakase is a conversation between the chef, the ingredient, and the guest. With only 12 seats at our counter, we ensure that every guest can witness the "執著" (obsession) and passion that Chef Tango and his team pour into every piece of sushi.
Whether you are a long-time regular or a first-time visitor, we invite you to taste the evolution of the 2026 season.

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.
1. The 12-Course Experience
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.

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. By concentrating the experience into 16 exquisite courses, we ensure that every dish—from the decadent Uni to the marbled Otoro—is of the absolute highest caliber. This is the pinnacle of the Sushi Yorokobu experience.
Note: All prices are subject to a 10% service charge and 7% government tax.
Why "Refined" is Better
In the world of authentic Omakase, the number of courses is only half the story. The true value lies in the selection of the fish, the temperature of the shari (rice), and the precision of the knife work.
By streamlining our courses for 2026, we allow each ingredient more room to shine. We invite our guests to slow down, savor the texture, and appreciate the intense umami that only comes from the finest Japanese imports.
