Brisbane's About to Get a Sushi Upgrade That'll Blow Your Mind!
Hey foodies! Get ready to mark your calendars because West End is about to drop a sushi bomb that's going to change your whole outlook on Japanese dining. We're talking next-level, melt-in-your-mouth, I-can't-believe-this-is-happening sushi!
Forget everything you thought you knew about sushi. We're talking 'Omakase' style, which basically means "I'll leave it up to you" to the chef. And trust me, you want to leave it up to this chef!
Say hello to 81 Sushi Kappo, opening its super exclusive doors right inside West End's Yamashiro (you know, that cool "fishbowl" spot?). This isn't your average sushi train, folks. This is an intimate, 10-seat counter experience where Chef Alex Ng is the superstar. And trust us, he's got the chops! Coming from places like Nobu Melbourne and other fancy spots, he knows his way around a piece of fish.
Chef Ng is all about respect for the ingredients – think super fresh, seasonal catches, prepared with traditional Edomae-style techniques. This means perfectly seasoned rice, subtle flavours, and sushi pressed by hand, just for you. Imagine delicate scallops kissed with finger lime, or rich uni (sea urchin) in a way you've never experienced. Your taste buds are going on an adventure!
For $150 a head, you'll get a 15-course omakase journey that will make you question all your life choices (in a good way!). They're doing two sittings a night – 6 pm and 8 pm – so it's a hot ticket. Plus, they've got amazing sake and wine pairings to make the whole experience even more epic.
So, if you're looking for a truly special night out, a place to impress, or just want to treat yourself to some of the best sushi Brisbane is about to offer, get ready to book your spot when 81 Sushi Kappo opens its doors on February 27. This is going to be HUGE!
