Sushi Sho

Honolulu, US

A 16-seat counter restaurant is the setting for renowned chef Keiji Nakazawa’s classic Japanese omakase within the Ritz-Carlton Waikiki Beach resort. Its Honolulu location brings more than 40 kinds of fresh fish alongside multiple types of seasoned rice, and highlights include Maui bonito topped with Hawaiian mustard and onions, baby red snapper nigiri dusted with egg yolk and yuzu, and, of course, the classic otoro tuna nigiri. Prepared in the edomae style – where fish is aged through a fermentation process to give it an extra umami flavour – the 30+ courses are each masterpieces in their own rights. No surprise to hear that Nakazawa is considered one of the best sushi chefs in the US, and indeed Japan, which makes getting one of the 16 seats incredibly difficult. As they say, persistence (and deep pockets), pays.
