FIFTEEN EAST

We had an incredible experience at Fifteen Omakase. The Chef Tasuku has a background in Italy, and you can taste subtle Italian influences in a few of the dishes — a unique and delightful twist that adds depth to the traditional omakase experience. The sushi rice stood out — perfectly balanced with a slightly salty profile, rather than the more common sweet or vinegary notes. It complemented the fish beautifully. Some highlights of the meal included the lean tuna, melt-in-your-mouth scallops, and uni from Kumamoto — incredibly fresh and full of umami. Service was attentive and warm throughout, and the location is perfect for a post-meal stroll. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a thoughtful and refined omakase with a touch of creativity.
