Firebird by Suetomi

Firebird is a collaboration between Mission Group and Chef Makoto Suetomi, whose tori-focused omakase in Tokyo has earned a devoted following among chefs, food writers, and anyone who understands that chicken, prepared with mastery, can be transcendent.

At Firebird, every element revolves around the wood fire. Premium jidori chicken is sourced from select Japanese farms, broken down with precision, and cooked over binchotan and fruitwood. The omakase format allows Chef Suetomi’s team to control every variable — timing, temperature, smoke, rest — resulting in textures and depths of flavour that redefine what poultry can be.

The space is intimate by design: a single counter, an open hearth, and the quiet theatre of fire and craft. Firebird is not a restaurant you visit casually. It is one you remember.
