The name Hiraya Manawari
ヒラヤHiraya, in katakana
Hiraya Manawari in Baybayin
Hiraya comes from Hiraya Manawari, an expression in old Tagalog: “May your wishes come true.” Two islands, two suns, one harmony — Japan and the Philippines, at the same table.
- 01May your aspirations be fulfilled
- 02May your dreams take shape
- 03May your intentions come true
Fish first Philosophy
魚sakana — fish
The chef’s devotion to fish borders on obsession — its freshness, its texture, the tide that carries it all the way to the plate. To him, sushi remains the truest gesture to reveal it: clean, precise, without artifice.
Filipino by birth, he carries that heritage into every bite: an echo of flavour and memory that warms Japanese rigour without ever clouding it.
Omakase Signature — private chef at home
おまかせomakase
The chef,
at your table.
Omakase literally means “I leave it to you”. It comes from the verb makaseru, “to entrust”. The chef cooks in your home, before your eyes, following the inspiration of the moment: you leave it to him, he composes the menu.
