MYAZU

MYAZU is a Michelin Selected contemporary Japanese restaurant in the Al Rawdah district of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It serves modern Japanese cooking, with sushi and robata dishes forming the core of the menu. Sushi is prepared with a focus on fresh fish, and robata items are cooked over charcoal in the Japanese grilling tradition, giving smoky depth to meats, seafood and vegetables. The menu is designed for sharing, with plates arriving in sequence so that cold and hot dishes can be combined across the table. The restaurant sits in the Michelin four-dollar band, the top price tier, with a meal typically costing about SAR 300-500 (roughly $80-133) per person, and the total rises with premium fish and grilled cuts. The dining room has a stylish, contemporary mood suited to dinners with friends, celebrations and business entertaining, and noise levels build in the evening as the room fills. Dress is smart-casual to smart, with modest clothing expected in Saudi Arabia. Alcohol is not available in the kingdom, so the beverage programme relies on mocktails, Japanese-style teas, juices and soft drinks. Dinner service is typical, though opening hours are not published and should be confirmed. Reservations are recommended and can be made through the restaurant's Instagram or Google Maps listing. Booking a few days ahead is sensible for Thursday and Friday evenings, and groups should allow more notice. Japanese dining in Jeddah has grown in recent years, and a Michelin Selected listing indicates that inspectors judged the cooking to be of good quality within that scene. Visitors can start with sushi and add a few robata dishes to share, then adjust the order according to the pace of the table. The Al Rawdah location is convenient for visitors staying in the central and northern parts of the city.
