Sushi legend Hatsushiro Muraoka, fondly known as Papa San, joined forces with chef-partner Ben Bettendorf to open Obi on Long Street. We reported in May that the two saw Obi as an opportunity to showcase the clean flavours of Japanese cuisine, and this they do here with simplicity and skill.

    We tried the fried tuna sandwich starter for the first time and it was delicious. A definite repeat. The sushi was fantastic as always, we enjoyed the Crunch and Royal rolls and tuna and salmon sashimi. Our waitress was friendly, mindful and efficient and we really enjoyed our visit. Thank you.
