Muni (; ) is an upscale dining establishment located in Seoul, South Korea, that focuses on Japanese cuisine, with a particular emphasis on kaiseki multi-course dining experiences. Since its inception in 2018, it has maintained a single Michelin Star from 2021 through 2024.
The restaurant operates under the direction of head chef Kim Dong-wook, who cultivated his interest in Japanese culinary arts during high school after encountering the manga Shōta no Sushi. Kim is an alumnus of Hattori Nutrition College and honed his skills at the kaiseki restaurant Kikunoi, training under chef Yoshihiro Murata. Additionally, he holds a professional certification as a sake sommelier (kikizakeshi).
Muni prioritizes the use of seasonal produce, featuring a menu that evolves monthly to reflect the changing ingredients, deliberately refraining from having a permanent signature dish. The restaurant presents an extensive selection of Japanese dishes consistent with this seasonal philosophy.
