Sumosan Opens its Doors for the 2022/2023 Season!
We’re so excited to announce that contemporary Japanese restaurant Sumosan is opening its doors for the ski season 2022/2023! It can be found at Six Senses Residences Courchevel.
This is the first Alpine outpost for the renowned Japanese restaurant. Offering its signature sushi and contemporary Japanese dishes, the restaurant and bar will provide a welcome antidote to the traditional fondue and raclette, with dishes exclusive to the Courchevel.
Owned by Janina Wolkow, Sumosan became a huge success following its 2002 London launch on Albemarle Street, with current locations also in Moscow, Monaco, Montenegro, Berlin and Dubai, the restaurant is celebrated for its high-quality sushi, sashimi, and innovative menu of Japanese cuisine created by Executive Head Chef Bubker (Buba) Belkhit.
Buba’s menu for Courchevel features signature Sumosan favourites served snow-side, including tuna and truffle rolls, Japanese salmon rice pizza, grilled sea bass with citrus ginger sauce and Furikake- crusted rack of lamb and mustard sauce. New, exclusive dishes include black caviar rice pizza and torched sushi, such as squid with calamari ink powder and unagi with unagi cotton candy sauce – torched table-side.
The bar provides the ideal après-ski destination, shaking up cocktails and serving a selection of sushi until late.
Sumosan Courchevel’s interior, designed by Morpheus & Co, blends minimalist Japanese design with nods to its Alpine location. A palette of dark woods is set against various hammered textures to echo the design of the yoshihiro knives, with a vast marble mountain scape of Courchevel peaks as the backdrop, mimicking the famous image of the sun setting over Mount Fuji. Traditional kimono fabric is used for decorative cushions alongside an origami chandelier of ‘mountains and valleys’. Adding a humorous touch, the famous Sumosan Sumo appears dressed in a variety of ski gear across the restaurant, including a sculpture to guard the restaurant doors.
We recommend trying to golden oysters with black caviar, foie gras and sea urchin.
