Last week at The Supper Club. In the first edition for 2024, blanko at The Alphen hosted our much-anticipated, Japanese inspired "Omakase Edition".⁠

Meaning “I leave it up to you”, Omakase embodies a Japanese dining tradition where the guest leaves their experience up to the chef.⁠

In a dynamic collaboration between our two culinary experts, Kove Collection’s executive chef, Amber, and head mixologist, Marshall, came together to explore the essence of “Omakase”.

Thank you to all who joined us for another fantastic event!
