Sushi Oono Omakase

Keisuke Ohno was previously at Sushi Mieda and more recently decided to go out on his own with his wife Hiromi. They are a lovely couple having been in Singapore for more than a decade now. Their new restaurant is called Sushi Oono. The husband wife dynamics helped.

Since I dropped in during the last 30 minutes of lunch without a booking, I went for the nigiri omakase priced at SGD220. Anything beyond that felt like I might be inconveniencing the chef given I had no booking. They offer two choices: a sushi omakase or a lunchtime omakase, catering to different tastes and times.

Hiromi is a certified sommelier and that really elevated our experience - champagne and Mersault she recommended were on point.

Chef Oono’s speciality is in aged sushi eg the umami explosion from the maguro was tantalising. The other sashimi cuts were all brilliant.
