Sushi Mizumi

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Japan's Sushi Heritage Meets Macao

At Wynn Palace in Cotai, Sushi Mizumi distills Japan's sushi tradition into one of Macao's most focused dining experiences. The centerpiece is a 14-person counter handcrafted from ancient Japanese Hinoki Cypress — a material chosen as much for its fragrance and cultural resonance as for its beauty. Seating is intentionally limited, keeping the atmosphere intimate and the attention on the craft unfolding in front of you.

Master Takayoshi Watanabe and the Omakase Counter

The restaurant's omakase format is shaped by Master Chef Takayoshi Watanabe, whose knife work and meticulous plating are on full display at the counter. The menu follows the Edomae tradition — the style of sushi that originated in old Edo — built around seasonal seafood including sea urchin, otoro tuna, and scallops. To keep flavors at their absolute peak, Sushi Mizumi imports its ingredients directly from Japan five times a week. As each piece is prepared, the chefs share the story behind it: the provenance, the season, the technique.

Design That Honors the Craft

Every detail of the room has been considered. Tableware is crafted from handspun Japanese pottery, and three suspended koi installations — rendered in gold lacquer and kintsugi ceramics — anchor the dining room visually, referencing themes of good fortune and resilience. The atmosphere is elegant without being austere, and the private dining rooms — three in total, each accommodating up to eight guests — offer an even quieter setting for those who want to explore the sake list and the Japanese cuisine at a slower pace.

Recognition Worth Noting

Sushi Mizumi holds a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star designation, and its wine and sake program has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2025 — a recognition that reflects the depth and curation behind the beverage offering. For a Japanese omakase experience in Macao that takes both the food and the drink seriously, Sushi Mizumi sets a clear standard.
