Kibou Cambridge

Known in Japan as 'Maguro Kaitai', a Tuna Carving Ceremony celebrates the craftsmanship, precision, and respect involved in preparing one of the most prized ingredients in Japanese cuisine – the bluefin tuna. At this event, KIBOU’s Senior Head Chef Jay Manglicmot and his sushi team will expertly carve and present a whole tuna, guiding you through the anatomy of the fish and the varying textures and flavour profiles of three of its most revered cuts: • Akami – The lean, deep red meat from the sides of the tuna. Clean, meaty, and balanced. • Chu-toro – From the belly, this cut features delicate marbling. Rich, buttery, and tender. • O-toro – The fattiest and most luxurious cut, taken from the lower belly. Intensely rich and melt-in-the-mouth. This will be followed by an 8-course Bluefin Tuna Tasting Menu, where we'll present a selection of small plates curated to showcase the versatility and depth of this magnificent fish. The menu will also be served alongside a matched flight of drinks, with both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks flights available. This Experience is presented in partnership with Kirin Ichiban as part of Cambridge Food and Drink Week, and will include welcome drink, complimentary miso soup, dessert, and a range of Japanese infusions to end your meal.
