Meliá Pattaya Hotel is introducing a new chapter in its culinary offering with the transformation of DEN restaurant into a modern premium izakaya specialising in Japanese grilling and sharing plates.
The new concept will be launched an exclusive four-course dinner paired with premium sake selection on Friday 30 October.
Steeped in Japan’s traditional izakaya culture, DEN takes inspiration from the country’s informal pubs where people gather over drinks and small dishes designed for sharing, offering premium Japanese grilling and beverages amid an atmosphere that pays homage to Tokyo after dark.
Previously known for its Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei cuisine, DEN has also been reimagined as a lively social destination, with a new musical direction blending Japanese city pop and contemporary sounds. Japanese highballs, freshly poured beer and sake are central to the experience.
To mark the launch, DEN will host a four-course dinner on 30 October from 7-9pm, beginning with sharing appetisers of edamame and sweet potato fries, followed by fried Wagyu gyoza and aburi shime saba pan con gohan. The second course features an ocean-inspired selection of hand-sliced salmon crudo, salmon and tuna croquetas and assorted sushi rolls.
A highlight of the evening is the premium yakitori selection, featuring chicken thigh, Kurobuta pork, Wagyu striploin, Saikyo miso grouper and grilled vegetables, followed by yuzu sake sherbet for dessert. Each course will be paired with premium Japanese sake in collaboration with beverage distributor Italasia.
The dinner is priced at THB 1,990++ per adult and THB 995++ per child aged five to 12.
