Kisumé’s incredible Bluefin Tuna Masterclass experience returns this winter.
Providing a rare opportunity for patrons to observe the intricate art of preparing one of the world’s most coveted fish.
The masterclasses are led by a seasoned sushi chef, whose deft hands transform a whole bluefin tuna into a selection of dishes right before the guests’ eyes. The intimate setting allows attendees to appreciate the precision and artistry involved in the process, making it a truly immersive experience.
The highlight of the masterclass is undoubtedly the tasting. Guests are treated to three distinct cuts of the bluefin tuna – akami, chu-toro, and o-toro. Each cut, served fresh from the chef’s knife, presents a unique flavour profile and texture, offering a comprehensive exploration of this prized fish.
But the masterclass doesn’t stop at the tuna. To complement the experience, Kisumé has curated a five-course menu that celebrates the season’s top produce. The menu features a variety of dishes, from Crispy Wagyu Truffle with Truffle Miso to King Prawn Tempura with Black Garlic and Kataifi. The star of the show, however, is the Bluefin Tuna served with Ponzu, Snow Pea Tendril, Mizuna, and Lemon Ponzu. The meal concludes on a sweet note with a handmade Hojicha Canele.
The Bluefin Tuna Masterclasses are scheduled for three dates – Sunday 25th June, Sunday 9th July, and Sunday 23rd July, from 12.30pm to 3pm. The cost of this exclusive experience is $225 per person which, considering the rarity of the opportunity, is a worthwhile investment for any seafood aficionado.
For those interested in attending, it’s worth noting that due to the exclusive nature of the event, spots are expected to fill up quickly. So, if you’re keen on experiencing this unique culinary journey, it’s best to book your spot sooner rather than later. You can make your booking here.
This event is a testament to Kisumé’s commitment to offering unique dining experiences that go beyond a meal, providing an insight into the art and skill behind the dishes we love. It’s a must-try for anyone looking for a unique way to spend a winter’s afternoon in Melbourne.
