WITH THE OPENING OF SHIKI OMAKASE, JOJI HATTORI EXPANDS HIS MULTI-AWARD-WINNING SHIKI UNIVERSE WITH ANOTHER FACET.

Hidden behind the exclusive SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek, which only recently opened, lies an intimate space that introduces an entirely new chapter of Japanese dining culture to Vienna. With just eight seats, the art of omakase unfolds here in its purest form — a place where trust, precision, and dedication define the stage.

Omakase literally means “I leave it up to you.” It is a culinary philosophy that originated in Tokyo’s sushi bars, where guests consciously placed their choices in the hands of the master. The chef decides which ingredients are served and in what sequence — guided by intuition, the finest ingredients of the day, and the inspiration of the moment. In this way, a tradition emerged that is far more than a menu: a culinary dialogue that exists entirely in the here and now.
