From the Gold Coast to Ginza – ring in the New Year with a night of decadence at Kiyomi

Nov 26, 2000, updated Nov 28, 2024

When it comes to New Years on the Gold Coast, few locations can compete with The Star’s stacked line-up of events. From a night at Nineteen at The Star to the mystique of its masquerade ball, The Star Gold Coast is once again set to sparkle into the new year. But for our resident foodies seeking to close out the year with one final epicurean experience, Kiyomi offers the perfect spot to escape and indulge. With a mouth-watering menu of Japanese delicacies and a truly one-of-a-kind Omakase experience available, feast your way through the final hours of 2024 at Kiyomi.

Since opening its doors in 2014, Kiyomi has been a hotspot for the region’s devoted sashimi savants to experience the very best of modern Japanese cuisine. Best known for its delicious fusion of time-honoured flavours with contemporary culinary flair, Kiyomi’s celebrated menu is the work of chefs Winson Law and Andrew Tam. In their recent menu revamp, the duo of Gold Coast residents opted to inject Japanese delicacies with a healthy dose of Queensland charm – debuting new dishes like its red snapper sashimi with kombujime amaebi and a tangy ginger lime dressing and Mooloolaba prawn toast with a kick of karashi miso. 

Fresh off the back of a full-site glow up, Kiyomi is swinging into 2025 with a brand new look, complete with warm timber panelling and minimalist art (an ode to the Japanese tradition of wabi-sabi). The restaurant’s sprawling main dining space and intimate private dining spaces offer the perfect destination to reminisce over 2024 with your nearest and dearest in tow. 

On the menu, Kiyomi serves up a selection of top-notch dishes as well as its iconic Omakase experience. With a premium package available as well, Kiyomi’s Omakase menu is brimming with extravagant dishes, from the simple perfection of its tuna crispy rice to wagyu flank and bay lobster tempura. If the end of 2024 truly deserves a celebration, the premium Omakase option will spoil you with a loaded list of sushi, oysters, lobster, tuna tasting and even dessert. 

End the year with Kiyomi’s extravagant experience. Secure your spot here
