Irish Enterprise Awards 2022

24 EU BUSINESS NEWS / Irish Enterprise Awards 2022 Jan22478 Renowned for its flavoursome food, hospitable and inviting atmosphere and a cultural homage to Japanese cuisine, Tippenyaki Restaurant is Dublin's Best Japanese Restaurant. Derived from the words' teppan' meaning 'iron plate' and 'yaki' meaning 'grilled,' the skilled cooking artform of teppanyaki is one of the newest forms of cooking considering the long history of Japan but is internationally appreciated for its delicious flavour and entertaining style. Established as the Best Japanese Restaurant in Dublin, Tippenyaki Restaurant serves generous portions of high quality, lovingly cooked ingredients, presented in a warming and cultural environment that pays homage to authentic Japanese cooking, flavours and cuisine. Tippenyaki provides a truly unique dining experience to the Dublin area, with the high standard quality of fresh sushi and Irish produce that can be found from vegetables to proteins like their incredible steak that is picked from Dublin markets daily. What distinguishes the restaurant from any other in Dublin is the unique cooking method that is teppanyaki. Customers get to choose from a wonderful Japanese inspired menu including items such as sushi, gyoza's miso soup, fried rice, fresh meat and seafood and veg, seasoned to perfection and prepared right in front of them by expertly trained chefs—a total umami experience in taste and experience. Depicting the restaurant's atmosphere and offerings, General Manager Roland Belleza dives into the establishment's principal mission, stating, "We are an Asian restaurant serving mainly Japanese Cuisine Teppanyaki & Sushi. We have a live cooking table where the chef cooks in the centre that sits 20 people and a normal table around it. Our core values stand behind our products, with a mission to deliver high-quality foods and high standards of hygiene and service." At Tippenyaki, food quality is the biggest priority and the primary connection to the restaurant's success. Providing fresh ingredients picked from the Irish market's daily is one of the most integral tasks that Tippenyaki upholds, as it directly impacts the restaurant's flavours and cooking stylings. Roland expands on this and states, "We don't just serve customers good food, we also give them a memorable dining experience that is unique to our restaurant. For example, our staff sings to them at their table, especially when celebrating birthdays or any other occasion. Additionally, if you are seated at the cooking table, customers will see the chef doing a little bit of flair while cooking." Notably, these tricks take many hours of practice to learn, with even some of the top chefs in the world being unable to do them. These include juggling utensils, flipping shrimp tales into the chef's pockets, catching eggs in hats and creating an 'onion ring fire shooting volcano', to name a few. Nevertheless, these bits of flair aid in distinguishing the restaurant's level of expertise and exceptionality. Tippenyaki is currently recovering from the pandemic effects, and that is where their main focus lies. However, Roland expands on this topic by describing the increasing trends in the area, stating, "We are starting to see an increase in our footfall at the moment as Fáilte Ireland are introducing initiatives to boost the tourism industry, also bring footfall fans to restaurants." It is a great opportunity that can benefit the restaurant immensely as there are few facts known about fans of sport – they love entertainment and good food, which can all be found at Tippenyaki, with its authentic Japanese inspired menu. Ireland is considered a diverse country, and with that, the most significant advantage to the restaurant's location is being so close to Europe. Ireland is one of the most visited and well-known countries in Europe. With Fáilte Ireland aiming to boost tourism, Tippenyaki will undoubtedly be significantly affected by the floods of travelling people, spreading their reputation nationally. For now, Tippenyaki plans to continue recovering from the difficulties the Covid-19 pandemic has caused and is looking forward to rebuilding confidence to ensure customers are safe to dine indoors and experience the wonderful world of teppanyaki and sushi.
