“I am excited to draw on all my experience to create this very special hand-crafted menu for Sake Sisters.
I have utilised Japanese umami flavours, combined with the absolute best fresh produce Queensland and Australia has to offer. The result is a modern Japanese menu that’s uniquely suited to the beautiful beachside location and stunning ocean views. I can’t wait for guests to taste the menu, with my personal favourite dishes being the kingfish usuzukuri and the free range Spatchcock cooked in a signature seven spiced marinade.” said Marcelino Papio Jr. Executive Chef, Saké Sisters.
