More About Us
Omoide takes its inspiration from the shokuji course of a traditional Japanese meal (Kaiseki-ryōri), where chirashi is served alongside pickles and dashi. Chirashi means ‘scattered’ sushi – so rather than the nigri and sushi rolls you might be used to, our freshly prepared sushi is cubed, dressed in a choice of sauces, and served on top of sushi rice (or grains) with a plentiful selection of delicious garnishes and pickles.
At Omoide, customers will be able to choose either one of our four signature house bowls, or build their own – choosing from a great selection of healthy and delicious ingredients to create their perfect bowl.
