About
In the western half of Södermalm, Tomoko Hayashi operates one of Stockholm's most intimate and personal restaurants entirely by herself — cooking, serving, and orchestrating every element of a 17-course omakase. The Michelin Guide notes her 'personality and professionalism' as she leads the smooth service alone. While not purely sushi-focused, seafood plays a central role — from Spanish sea bass and Argentinian prawns to Canadian black cod — all prepared with the kaiseki-influenced precision of Japanese fine dining. A sake pairing is available alongside wine. The experience is irreducibly personal: dining at Washoku TOMO means eating a meal created by one Japanese chef for a small number of guests, without intermediaries.
