Rooted in tradition, refined by experience—Mitsu-ya brings the art of Japanese dining to the heart of Beirut. Our journey began with a vision to offer more than just food; we set out to craft a cultural encounter, blending the elegance of Japan with the soul of Lebanon.
From the warm greeting of “irasshaimase” to the final bite of a perfectly balanced nigiri, every detail reflects a deep respect for authenticity, precision, and storytelling through cuisine.
Guided by the visionary Chef Mitsu——our commitment to excellence is unwavering. Each dish is a masterful composition, meticulously crafted using only the finest ingredients.
Whether it’s the precise handling of fresh seafood, the artful presentation of our signature Omakase, or the inventive twists on classic recipes, every element of our menu speaks to our passion for authentic, high-quality cuisine.
THE BIRTH
OF MITSUYA
Chef Mitsu’s story starts in Chiba, Japan, where he began training at a kaiseki restaurant at just 16. Driven by curiosity and dedication, he traveled the world—refining his craft in Tokyo, Vietnam, Germany, Italy, and Singapore.
When he arrived in Beirut, Japanese dining was still an emerging concept. Mitsu-ya was born out of this unique intersection, introducing authentic Izakaya and Omakase to Lebanon, and offering a dining experience where heritage, innovation, and sensory delight meet.
