Why Sushi Art's omakase menu needs to be on your to-try list this week
Just when you think sushi in Dubai can't get any better, it surprises you yet again. If you have a craving for Japanese dishes that can never be cured, then you need to get down to Sushi Art to try its latest creation. Every year, Sushi Art collaborates with incredible chefs from around the world to bring some brand new flavours to Dubai. However, this year is extra special, as the restaurant has partnered with UAE-based Michelin Starred chef Grégoire Berger to put the eight-course menu to the table. A huge fan of the JBR restaurant, chef Berger has taken inspiration from meals he's enjoyed at the branch over the years, as well as family and the sea. Showcasing his incredible technique, each plate in the menu tells its own story, an idea all rooting from the timeless Japanese tradition. Starting with a portion of black sesame dynamite shrimp, you'll then be treated to two nostalgic nashi pear and cabbage coleslaw spring rolls with a tangy kick. Obsiblue Roll with Blue Rice and Tom Kha Course number three is the crispy shiso tacos with salmon and kalamansi, quickly followed by two pieces of obsiblue roll with blue rice and tom kha paste. Next up are two nigiri courses, featuring a tuna nigiri with kimchi no moto, made ready to eat in three simple steps with a kimchi-infused ginger, specialty sauce, and seasoning powder. Following this is a torched Wagyu nigiri, served with cherry BBQ sauce. Just when you thought the menu couldn't get any better, it's worth noting that the omakase selection has not one, but two dessert courses. Made up of a matcha ganache mochi with black tea crumble and milk yuzu lemongrass sauce, followed by a chocolate tart with vanilla and buckwheat, you'll be leaving this dinner more than satisfied. Available at all Sushi Art locations across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the experience is for dine-in customers only. Packed with fresh ingredients, flavour and tradition, don't miss your chance to try out the menu and make your way down to Sushi Art today.
