Tsukiji Sushi Sei, the venerated Tokyo sushi house with a century of refined craftsmanship behind it, makes its first appearance in Taiwan this November. Okura Prestige Taipei welcomes the restaurant for a five day guest chef residency at Yamari, its Japanese dining establishment, from November 18 through 22.
The invitation centres on the Issei set menu, which captures the essence of Edo mae sushi mastery: hand pressed rice, pristine fish sourced with exacting standards, and the quiet precision that distinguishes the finest sushi counters. Each piece is prepared to order, revealing the sushi chef’s knowledge of temperature, texture and the delicate balance between ingredient and craft. Diners witness the immediate gratification of freshly formed nigiri, the rice still warm beneath the fish.
The residency aligns with the 2026 ITF travel trade show. Those purchasing a Yamari full area pass from the Okura Prestige website or ITF booth before November 13 can add the Issei set menu for NT$600, a substantial saving from the regular price. Early bookings include a pair of exclusive Tsukiji Sushi Sei branded coasters. Dinner service runs nightly from November 18 to 22. Reservations can be made on 02 2181 5137.
