Koiishi St. Regis Mumbai

May 19, 2022: Luxury hotel The St. Regis Mumbai has opened the doors to Koishii, an all-new culinary and bar, offering Nikkei cuisine at The Penthouse on level 37.
 
Nikkei cuisine is a harmonious blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. Thus Koishii is an homage to the marriage of cultures and the connection between the words, Koi and Itishi. While ‘Koi’, quite simply, is the act of falling in love, ‘Itishi’ is the deep feeling of doing something for someone you love.

The menu showcases a variety of dishes from its three kitchens: the hot kitchen, the sushi counter and the robata grill. The Koishii culinary team is led by Peruvian Master Chef, Chef Kinyo. His menu will feature among other Nikkei dishes, delicious signature selections by him like Mango Ceviche, Lima to Tokyo Tiradito, Watermelon Carpaccio (slow cooked for 8 hours), Ceviche de Pato, Salmón Tropical, Machu Picchu 190 and Seco Norteño (Lamb Shank). A special Omakase menu, meaning ‘I leave it up to you’ in Japanese, compliments the selections of the main menu.
 
Koishii is dramatically lit with grand-sized crystal, wood and hand-forged metal chandeliers. The décor reflects the post-industrial style with a metal cage bar that evokes an era bygone with Peruvian and Japanese vintage sepia tones. The library alcove and the two private rooms also hark back to times when deals were forged and promises were made while breaking bread together.

A cascade of chandeliers adds a softness and brings a twinkling charm. The dining space is visually stunning, and the overall aesthetic is modern and elegant. The expansive dining space has four zones: a bar or library lounge, the main dining area, an on-display robata kitchen and sushi counter, and the private dining rooms. 
 
The showstopper is the bespoke-designed black lacquered metal and brass gantry structure suspended over the marble and oak bar. The library lounge abuts the bar with its cozy seating.
