Introducing the biggest Access dining experience yet.

 

For one night only, on July 29, members are invited on an eating tour of Prefecture 48 – a sprawling Sydney precinct, home to six impressive restaurants that channel the cultural and creative breadth of Japan’s 47 prefectures. (The precinct is its unofficial 48th.) The experience is worth $600 a head. But for 70 Access members, it’s completely free.

 

Here’s what your evening will look like:

 

At 6pm, arrive in the courtyard for a welcome drink and saké ceremony. Then, head to your first destination – Omakase, an eight-seat counter led by two of the best sushi chefs in Sydney right now – for a selection of nigiri.

 

Next, you’ll try amuse-bouche at Five, a European diner basing its menu on the five core elements of Japanese cooking. Think kangaroo ragout and wattleseed tagliolini.

 

Then it’s to Garaku, the neon-lit fine-dining headliner, where Tetsuya’s former exec chef will dish up the likes of foie grass and marron with koji butter.

 

Following that, it’s over to Ibushi for heartier dishes. The hip robata-style restaurant specialises in open-flame cooking, described by the team as “Japanese Firedoor”.

 

Choose between a curated whiskey flight or two complimentary cocktails at the precinct’s suave cocktail bar, Whisky Thief. And finish strong at Dear Florence – a patisserie helmed by a pastry chef with Michelin cred – for a tea ceremony, sweet treat and omiyage (gift) to take home.

 

Tickets will go lightning fast. If you’re not yet a member, join Access today to receive your invite and secure your seat. Access members can join the waitlist once it opens at 4pm Monday July 21.

This is an Access member only event. If you’re a member and would like to attend with a plus one, forward them this link so that they can join ahead of the waitlist opening.
