Kureta presents a rare evening with Dom Pérignon, IWA Sake and Caviar Mafia

Since opening at the JW Marriott Auckland, Kureta has quietly established itself as the city’s most elevated teppan house. Far from the theatrics many associate with the format, this is omakase-driven cooking of real precision, led by Chef de Cuisine Akihiro Nakamura, whose two decades of training in Japanese culinary discipline shape every course that leaves the grill.

On Tuesday, 31st March, Kureta takes things further with A Night with Dom Pérignon, IWA Sake and Caviar Mafia, an exclusive collaboration bringing three globally recognised luxury brands together for a single, unrepeatable evening. The 10-course omakase journey features Imperial Oscietra Caviar atop Te Matuku oysters, A5 Japanese Wagyu Yakishabu finished with smoked Siberian ossetra caviar and kina sauce, dive-caught wild crayfish with nori butter, and a showstopping A5 Wagyu Katsu paired with Hibachi-grilled rice. Each course is matched with rare Dom Pérignon vintages and premium IWA Sake.

Adding to the evening’s significance, Charles-Antoine Picart, Co-Founder of IWA Sake, will be in attendance to share insights into the brand’s pioneering approach to sake blending, alongside Dean O’Reilly, Dom Pérignon’s Ambassador. With only two intimate seatings available and spaces nearly sold out, this is one of the most exclusive dining propositions Auckland has seen this year. At $495 per guest, it is an invitation into something genuinely rare.

Limited seats remain; book now.
