Obi

Japanese culture is based on nature, beauty and harmony – traits that are present in the country’s art, gardens, ceremonies, décor, and most importantly its gastronomy. The elaborate Japanese cuisine goes to great lengths in order to maintain the delicate flavor of the ingredients, balances the taste of dishes with their appearance, overall environment, and superb mood. This holistic concept is what lies behind OBI, Beirut’s most trendy upcoming Japanese restaurant which will open its flagship restaurant at ABC Achrafieh and ABC Dbayeh.

A wide range of appetizers are offered with favorites like sushi, sashimi, and maki representing a panoply of colors on a plate. The Kamikaze or Yellow tail Cilantro are a must pick, yet beyond these coveted specialties are several hot dishes that entice you to revisit the place often. This includes the Taco Tuna, Black Cod Miso and definitely the Pizza Tuna. Representing a new dimension in Asian gastronomy, it will delight diners who possess a sophisticate palate. As the evening winds down, the authentic green tea becomes a must, and an exciting dessert menu offers the ultimate finale to the meal. The Ginger Chocolate Cake, Yuzu Lime Meringue Tart, and Chestnut Cheesecake are only some of the delights that will offer a closure to a perfect meal at OBI.
