HŌSEKI offers contemporary Japanese cuisine, with dishes crafted to be savoured and shared. Our menu features an extensive list of a la carte dining options – and we typically recommend between six and ten dishes per couple. In addition, we offer a Four-Course Chef’s Selection Menu for Lunch, with a more extensive Eight-Course Omakase menu for dinner. Both menus have an optional wine pairing curated by our sommelier to complement your experience. Across our menu, the majority of our fresh produce is handpicked from the Estate’s vegetable garden and greenhouse, with the remainder provided by producers who share our philosophy of organic farming. We use only sustainably sourced Bluefin tuna, which is renowned for its rich flavour and fatty texture and Yellowfin tuna, which, in contrast, has a mild taste and firm texture. Our Wagyu beef, famed for its intense marbling and tenderness, is locally sourced, and to assist you in your selection, our menu features a marbling score (MS) – a grading system used to evaluate the marbling quality – which ranges from one to twelve. At HŌSEKI, we are proud to work only with local, certified sustainable farms and fisheries to ensure the environment, animals and our communities are respected and preserved for generations to come.

Gourmet Guide Description

Delaire Graff Estate, the jewel of the winelands, is the epitome of luxury. Sweeping views from the top of the Helshoogte Pass encompass vineyards, gardens, and sculptures. The estate boasts a wine lounge, luxury lodges, a villa, a spa and two restaurants. Honour is the essence of Hōseki (meaning ‘a precious gem’). This rebirth of what was previously three-plated Indochine, still headed up by the brilliant chef Virgil Kahn, represents a shift towards lighter cuisine, a global trend Kahn has mastered with aplomb. Sushi chef Shoji Morita and the team have been inspired by the cultural exploration.

The menu offers a choice between à la carte, sushi tasting, or omakase (meaning ‘I leave the details up to you’). There’s sushi (new style and tiradito), soups, bites, salads, tacos, and both hot and cold options–tempura, kushiyaki, and robata. The sushi is next-level: rice is twice polished and there’s a house-made soy crafted from bokkoms, mirin, sake, Kikkoman, and sweet potato. The Cape Wagyu Sando features a 10-plus marble score—the highest in the country—and is served with truffle roe, aioli, ponzu quills, and gold dust on brioche. It’s a journey that is best accompanied by wine or the sake selection. Sommelier Duane Jansen and the well-informed, gracious team will expertly guide you.

    Highly sophisticated venue and 8 course Dinner. Upper class wine selection of wine’s from the farm as well as other wineries. Unfortunately one dish, the duck, was not as tender as expected for the money.Therefore food and value received only 4stars.

    Amazing experience at Hoseki to celebrate our anniversary. From walking into the property, being greeted with warmth and hospitality, we were escorted to the restaurant. We were welcomed and treated with the utmost deference. Buhle, our waitress was attentive, friendly and always there with a smile. We had a bespoke cocktail from the sommelier (I don’t remember the lovely ladies name) and the service overall was top notch. The tasting sushi platter blew our minds and we were surprised by the complimentary snack and dessert plate. I hope to return to Hoseki soon as we had a great time
