Chef Daisuke Mori makes his India debut with a two-night pop-up at Mirai in Mumbai on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October 2026, from 8pm to 10pm. It is the restaurant's first collaboration.
Mori led the kitchen at Takumi by Daisuke Mori in Hong Kong, a French-Japanese restaurant that held a Michelin star for seven consecutive years from 2017 to 2023. A graduate of Osaka's Tsuji Culinary Institute, he has cooked at Chateau Restaurant Joel Robuchon in Tokyo, Restaurant Taillevent in Paris and Restaurant Signature at Mandarin Oriental Tokyo. He is currently Executive Chef at Carlyle & Co., Rosewood Hong Kong. His cooking pairs Japanese precision and seasonality with French technique.

The non-vegetarian menu (Rs 5,950++) opens with Giant Mud Crab with crab remoulade, cauliflower espuma and curry oil, then a Baked Mushroom Tart with potato mousse, onion compote and tapenade.
