The Counter invites you to an extraordinary week of yakitori artistry with the return of Chef Masahiko Kodama, a Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded chef and icon in the world of Japanese grilling. This omakase series is a rare opportunity to enjoy Kodama-san’s legendary craftsmanship up close.
Known for his use of Binchotan charcoal imported from Japan, Chef Kodama’s method is rooted in precision and simplicity. The curated omakase begins with seasonal starters before leading into nine expertly grilled skewers, highlighting different cuts of chicken. From the tender Negima to the lean, flavorful Seseri, each bite is a study in technique and tradition.
What makes this experience truly special is its intimacy—seating is limited to preserve the authentic omakase atmosphere. Every skewer is prepared before your eyes, creating a connection between chef and guest that’s as memorable as the meal itself.
Recognized by Tatler Dining and Spot.ph, The Counter is proud to host this exceptional event.
Lunch and dinner services are available April 20–26. April 27 offers lunch seatings only (12 PM and 2:30 PM). Secure your place early.
