Philosophy

Literally translated ‘the human flavour,’ Ningenmi is a Japanese term used to refer a person with outstanding humanly qualities: sincere, thoughtful and passionate. Adopted as a corporate philosophy by owner Seigo Nakamura, the term encompasses the belief that success can only be achieved when it is built upon the passion and pride from each individual embracing Ningenmi at heart.

The four principles of the the Miku Ningenmi philosophy are:

  • With utmost sincerity and pride, we will provide a sensational dining experience for our guests
  • As a team, our priority is to create a respectful and supportive work environment
  • As a team, to attain work-life balance and gain a wider perspective of ‘quality of life’
  • Collectively and individually, we will take each day as an opportunity to improve and discover our infinite potential
