ŌSHAN Contemporary Sushi
/
When it comes to sushi, there's a place in South Yarra that transcends the ordinary. ŌSHAN Contemporary Sushi, located in the heart of South Yarra, is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends Japanese tradition with Brazilian inspiration, resulting in a dining experience that's truly exceptional.
Nestled in a stunning setting, ŌSHAN Contemporary Sushi embodies the principles of connection, conversation, and unpretentious fine dining. As sushi artisans, they have carved out a space where seasonal, sustainable ingredients are held in the highest regard, and simplicity is the key to their success. Ordinary sushi doesn't even make it onto their menu.
What sets ŌSHAN apart is the unexpected. Here, you can expect a culinary adventure like no other, where every visit promises a unique and unforgettable experience. The consistency lies in their collective vision - the creation of an exceptional culinary journey.
At ŌSHAN, the pinnacle of this journey is the Omakase experience. Owners, Vanessa Foderà and Chef Peterson take you on a delectable voyage, inspired by a blend of his Brazilian heritage, his mastery of Japanese sushi-making tradition, and the abundance of fresh, local produce in Melbourne. It's a symphony of flavours that caters to open minds, inviting you to explore fresh textures, flavours, and techniques that work together to create a surprisingly harmonious balance.
What makes ŌSHAN's Omakase truly special is the meaningful and memorable connection between each course and the carefully selected sakè pairings. Each mouthful is accompanied by a beguiling companion, enhancing the overall experience. The menu is further elevated with cocktails (think wasabi martinis...) and a remarkable collection of organic and biodynamic wines, including offerings from notable Australian and international wineries.
One distinct feature of ŌSHAN is the relaxed atmosphere. Reservations are not confined to a two-hour sitting, and the owners, Vanessa and Peterson, encourage you to savour the experience at your own pace. This is a 15-seat space designed for conversations, a place where you can eat, drink, laugh, love, share stories, create memories, and enjoy attentive, personalized service.
What truly sets ŌSHAN apart is Chef Peterson's commitment to designing dishes for pure pleasure. The dishes at ŌSHAN are beautifully balanced, with unexpected flavour combinations that somehow just work, like strawberries in tempura hot rolls. Chef Peterson is a master of sauces, incorporating fruits in the most spectacular way, offering a unique twist to traditional sushi that delights the palate.
ŌSHAN Contemporary Sushi is not just a dining experience; it's a journey of flavours, textures, and techniques that come together in a breathtaking fusion of Japanese tradition and Brazilian inspiration. Your visit to ŌSHAN promises to be an exploration of the senses, a journey you won't soon forget.
