Inari Omakase
Premium sushi experience since 2012
Since 2012, Inari has set the standard for sushi in Istanbul. The omakase experience showcases the chef's artistry with the finest fish flown in regularly from Tokyo's Tsukiji market. The intimate counter seating provides a front-row view of precision knife work.
Editor's Tip
Istanbul's premier omakase. Counter seats essential for the full experience.
