The relaxed, minimalist sister to Michelin-starred Endo at the Rotunda, offering high-end sushi without the ceremony.
Ordering Strategy
Prioritize the Nigiri and Temaki sections; sit at the counter to watch the chefs if possible.
What to order
Temaki (Hand Rolls)
These "taco-like" rolls feature "glimmering sheets of salmon" or tuna diced into curved nori; they are the "stars of the show" and highlight the restaurant's signature casual style.
Mushroom Gohan
A savoury rice hot pot that serves as a comforting, filling anchor to the lighter raw fish dishes, though the menu also offers "Japanese main beef courses" for those seeking heavier proteins.
Aburi Otoro with Black Truffle
A "smile-inducing must-try" where fatty tuna is torched and "showered with grated black truffle," then placed "directly in the palm of your hand" to be eaten "shot-style."
Matcha Mille Crêpe
Described as a "milky delicacy cut through with a sharp creme fraiche," this multi-layered dessert is considered the "essential finish" to a meal at Sumi.

Good to know
It is expensive for a 'casual' spot. Reservations are essential, especially for the terrace on sunny days.
