A new omakase featuring “entertainment sushi” is opening in October.
Sushi Sky officially opens to the public on Oct. 1, but customers can now make reservations for the new restaurant via OpenTable.
The new restaurant — not to be confused with Sky Waikīkī — is located on Kalākaua Avenue by Ki Club. It can seat around eight people.
Chef Maki Goto from Kyushu, Japan features “entertainment sushi.” After the Oct. 1 grand opening, the restaurant will offer two different dining experiences.
The casual sushi course ($100 per person) — available at 5 p.m. — features a relaxed sushi course experience without entertainment or show elements. The casual sushi course will include three appetizers, sashimi, eight pieces of nigiri, miso soup and dessert.
The restaurant’s entertainment sushi experience ($150 per person) will officially start in October, according to Goto, and will only be available for the eatery’s 7:30 p.m. omakase seating.
“Our signature sushi experience will feature entertainment and special presentations throughout the course,” she says.
The menus for the sushi courses will be different, according to Goto.
“The casual course is a simpler, sushi-focused experience without entertainment, while the entertainment omakase includes more dishes, special presentations and a show-style experience,” she explains.
During a recent media preview, we got a first look at the entertainment sushi experience, which included music and interactive elements during some of the featured courses.
Our preview featured dishes like corn potage, toro nigiri, crab chawanmushi with trout roe, and uni topped with a gold leaf.
Nigiri pieces included Hokkaido scallop, shrimp, yellowtail amberjack, zuke akami and washu beef, which featured a torched presentation.
Interactive courses from the media preview included toro and takuan on toast — which was topped with caviar and gold dust — the corn potage, which was served “shot style” with music; and maguro nigiri, which was seared in real-time.
Reservations for Sushi Sky are available on OpenTable; limited customer parking is available in the restaurant’s parking lot.
