Spotlight: Sushi Bar Maumi

Sushi Bar Maumi is a charming and minimalist Japanese sushi bar serving unique daily creations. They emphasize the use of the finest selection of fish imported directly from Japan. If you haven’t experience omakase which means, “the chef’s best choice” look no further and visit Sushi Bar Maumi. What I love about this place is the intimate omakase experience, the fresh sushi selection and how affordable the experience was.

This particular sushi bar has a place in my heart because I came here on my own in October 2018 for my birthday. Wow. I was 28 years old back then! Time really flies. It was a birthday treat from me to me. I had the best experience ever. It was intimate and the omakase was out of this world! I was in awe with the chef’s knife skills and sushi making ability. This time around, I wanted to share this experience with my older sister and younger brother. We booked a reservation for Saturday, April 15th at 7:45 pm.

Because the fish is imported directly from Japan, the selection always differs. When we were there for our omakase experience we enjoyed 12 sushi. Our menu for the evening consisted of:

Botan Ebi, Onaga Dai, Katsuo, Surume Ika, Hon Maguro, Nama Hotate, Murasaki Uni, Bafun Uni, Kanpachi, Hon Maguro Chu-Toro, Saba and Anago.

The 12 sushi all melted in my mouth. The sushi rice was cooked to perfection and you could say the sushi were not “fishy” as they were well-prepared by the talented chef. I was very impressed we were able to enjoy two types of unis (sea urchins) from Japan. Overall, a memorable omakase experience not only for myself but for my siblings. To this day, my sister still mentions Sushi Bar Maumi and says we should come here again. I highly recommended making a reservation to Sushi Bar Maumi for an unforgettable omakase experience.
