Hōseki: Elegant Japanese Cuisine at Delaire Graff Estate

Living up to its name (Hōseki means “jewel” in Japanese), this elegant Japanese dining experience in the Stellenbosch Winelands is a gem of visual delight (indoors and out), from blue-leather seating and copper-topped tables to exquisite chopsticks and crockery, with a feast of flavours to match.

Chef Virgil Kahn draws on his work experience in the East (including Michelin-starred Saint Pierre in Singapore, and Nobu) as inspiration, His expertise, creativity and finesse combine with subtle aromatics and a symphony of fresh contemporary flavours in creatively re-imagined modern-Japanese small-plate four- or eight-course omakase menus (with optional wine-pairings from sommelier Duane Jansen). The à la carte options range from prime wagyu steaks to far-from-ordinary tempura, ramen, tacos and robata grills – and a bento box selection.
