Think omakase-style, but with dishes that go beyond sushi. It’s often considered less formal than other omakase formats, with the chef passing dishes to diners over the counter.
Behind the counter you’ll find Chef “Taka” Takashi Sega, the former head sushi chef at Nobu Palo Alto, who also has experience at the Michelin-starred Omakase in San Francisco. Sega and longtime friend Jesse Sun opened the restaurant with a soft opening beginning Nov. 17, according to Peninsula Foodist.
Lunch sets range from $18-$66, with walk-ins accepted, and feature items like fried chicken with soy vinaigrette, called the Yurinchi set ($18), and seafood donburi sets with salmon, bluefin tuna, amberjack or other premium sashimi options.
During the soft opening, 2.5-hour dinner experiences start at 6 p.m., with seatings Tuesday through Sunday. Reservations are required two days in advance. The dinner prix fixe menu is $200 during the soft opening and will be $250 regularly, according to Resy, and includes a welcome bite, sashimi, tofu course, two flights of nigiri, dobin mushi (a clay pot broth dish), nimono (a braised seasonal dish), handroll, soup and dessert, plus optional enhancements, like uni or A5 wagyu nigiri. A smaller tasting menu is also available, as is a kids’ menu.
Details: Open 11:30-2 p.m. and 5-9 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays at 3130 Alpine Road, Suite 240, Portola Valley; hibariportolavalley.my.canva.site
