A Tribute to Japan at BOURBON STEAK

Nodding to Japan and BOURBON STEAK’s meat-centric style, restaurant executive chef Drew Adams will offer richly marbled cuts of A5 New York strip sandwiched between an authentic Japanese milk bread parker house roll with shiso, pickled turnip and rutabaga sauce - presented in bento boxes crafted from the sakura wood of cherry blossom trees.

Patrons can plan toast to the occasion over glasses of authentic Japanese whiskey - including the extremely rare Yamazaki 18-year Mizunara produced by Suntory.  This is the first edition of this rare specialty, with only 5,000 bottles produced for distribution worldwide.  Aged in the famed Yamazaki for 18 years entirely in rare Japanese mizunara oak -- the wood from this tree required Suntory to perfect new cask-making techniques. The tantalising results are spicy, redolent of incense and uniquely Japanese.  The Yamazaki 18-year mizunara is available in a two-ounce pour or one-ounce pour and priced at USD 402 and USD 201 respectively.

For reservations, call +1 202 944 2026 or book online.
