At Mizu, dinner comes with choreography. The teppanyaki format puts the chef, the iron griddle and the ingredients directly in front of you, turning each course into a small performance of sizzle, steam and flame. It is polished rather than gimmicky, with technique doing most of the entertaining.
The meal opens with Hokkaido scallops served with cucumber, ikura and yuzu, before moving to Phuket sea bass with edamame, mushroom and wakame, folded in banana leaf to hold in fragrance and moisture. The finish is a Phuket pineapple dessert with house-made vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce – light, sunny and just theatrical enough to keep the show going until the last spoonful.
