If you fancy an evening full of new discoveries, then Sahoi is just the place for you. Sashimi platters served as “Chef’s Recommendation” with matching dipping sauces, izakaya classics such as Japanese karaage chicken and shrimp tempura, and dishes from the grill like yuzu-miso glazed scallops, beef tataki with truffle mayo, and vegan cauliflower steak with black sesame sauce. In each dish, Japanese ingredients are playfully reinterpreted without overpowering the high-quality fresh produce, such as the fish. The “snacks to share” are suitable for those who are in a bar mood and fancy great cocktails. John is the bartender (and manager) and offers a great selection of unusual drinks, for which he naturally uses Japanese ingredients such as sake, matcha and miso butter. Every month you can look forward to new creations appearing on the cocktail menu, including concoctions with his homemade syrups and infusions. If you prefer to keep things traditional and like to drink sake with your sashimi platter, Sahoi is also the right place for you. The menu offers a sake-tasting, for which John puts together all his favorites. With Sahoi, owners Lani and Khanh wanted to create a place where you don’t have to choose between an extensive dinner or a quick drink at the bar. Whether you fancy an evening of cocktails and small izakaya snacks or want to enjoy the full menu: here you’ll find the perfect setting for almost any occasion — what you make of it is entirely up to you.
