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.

    A lovely and cosy spot for dinner. My partner had the ramen which I of course tasted and it was delicious. I had tuna California rolls which was fresh and yummy. Our waitress was friendly and I thank her for her recommendation of the plum sake as it is my new favourite drink.
