About
Born in Nagasaki and trained across Japan's finest sushi establishments, Ryuichi Yoshii has spent over 38 years honing the precision and restraint of Edomae sushi. His ten-seat omakase, set within the lavish surrounds of Crown Sydney's Nobu, unfolds as a deeply personal procession of nigiri, sashimi, and seasonal courses — each piece shaped by the chef's hands at the counter. Bookings are released on the first of each month and sell out within minutes, a testament to the experience's standing as Australia's benchmark sushi dining. Two Good Food Guide Chef Hats and a devoted following of sushi connoisseurs confirm Yoshii's Omakase as a once-in-a-generation dining encounter. At AUD 380 per person, it represents the pinnacle of Japanese culinary craft in Australia.
