The kosher sushi restaurant Onami, located in Tel Aviv's Hilton Hotel, is currently hosting a new Tamaki festival throughout November. Chef Roee Sofer has created four distinct ways to present this type of Japanese sushi, also known as a hand roll: a classic cone, an open Tamaki, an open Tamaki served on a plate, and a roll-style Tamaki. The reviewer highlighted the exceptional visual appeal of the dishes, noting that each plate was more aesthetically pleasing than the last, with vibrant colors, unique shapes, and artful arrangements that made them ideal for photography before eating.
Beyond the presentation, the food itself received high praise. The reviewer particularly enjoyed the Sakana Tempura, an open Tamaki featuring fried sea fish with kimizu sauce and togarashi cream, describing it as a beautiful dish with a successful flavor combination. Even for someone who typically avoids raw fish, the reviewer found the fish in the Tamaki dishes to be delicious and well-seasoned, suggesting that even skeptics might be pleasantly surprised.
Other recommended dishes from the menu included chicken-filled gyoza, salmon and zucchini, and a tuna tartare with Japanese bread, which was elevated by an excellent sauce. The banan filled with fish was also noted for its unique taste and beautiful presentation. The restaurant's dedication to meticulous food presentation was a recurring theme, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Desserts also impressed, with the Matcha Crème Brûlée being a standout, surprisingly reminiscent of pistachio flavor and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The deconstructed lemon cake was also described as a delicious and special end to the meal. Onami is recommended for sushi lovers seeking unique and visually appealing dishes, with the Tamaki festival offering a novel way to experience sushi.
