“At Sabi Omakase we do Edo-style sushi using Nordic produce. That is why we call our way of working ‘Normae’, a name consisting of ‘Nor’ for the Nordic and ‘mae’, which means ‘near you'. Our menu is seasonal and changes with what we can get from the sea and the local fishermen. Sabi Omakase is like a food spa, where we try to give our guests a holistic experience of well-being.”

Cleansing suimono soup with cockles; salmon nigiri; and reindeer nigiri.

In this small box of oak and walnut lies a tiny restaurant. Chef Roger Joya will greet you at the bar and lead you on a sensible tour of the Norwegian fjords and mountains. The eighteen memorable servings start off mildly, when your neighbour serves you a portion of the cleansing suimono soup, preparing your palate for the journey ahead; a path filled with fresh produce from the Arctic North Sea and cold fjords. An evening at Sabi Omakase is a mindful evening of delicate textures you will remember.

“Sabi has an exclusivity that is unique. With only 10 seats around the same bar, the experience is intimate and close ... At Sabi Omakase you simply eat in a way you have not done before. With all the senses concentrated around this one mouthful.” –Amanda Bahl, amandabahl.com
