A sensory journey unlike any other is redefining the capital’s nightlife. Strawfire, located with the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, brings immersive dining and drinking together with Japanese tradition and contemporary flair.
At the heart of Strawfire lies the Tsukimi Lounge, a bar space where warm tones, organic textures, and glowing warayaki flames create a distinct golden-hour ambiance. More than a bar, Tsukimi Lounge is a destination where ambiance and artistry meet. Whether you’re looking for an intimate evening, a discovery led cocktail or a unique take on Japanese hospitality, Strawfire has something for every guest.
Strawfire’s sake experience begins with Karin Takeuchi, the bar’s in-house sommelier, whose deep knowledge and passion for the craft shine through each recommendation. Guests are invited to explore a thoughtfully curated collection rooted in Japanese culture – including Kachikoma from Toyama, a bottle so rare it’s scarcely found even in Japan and a bold, unexpected sake made in France. With a deep understanding of flavour and occasion, Karin finds the right bottle to complement the evening – a nod to Strawfire’s commitment to both tradition and innovation.
Cocktails are expertly mixed at the Tsukimi Lounge, while hand rolls are crafted tableside – a dynamic touch that brings Strawfire’s culinary artistry to life. The warm glow of warayaki flames, elevates the experience and arouses the senses in a space designed to captivate. A bar designed for moments that matter – come for the cocktails, stay for the story. Tsukimi Lounge at Strawfire is where all great nights begin.
