The golden age of taste and texture has invited guests – yet again – to transcend beyond the plates of traditional dining with sushi in Chicago (and a side of mystery). Dining in the dark, the Sushi By Bou omakase way, is moving beyond sight and eating with one’s eyes. It’s simple – an utter embrace of the heightened sense of taste, smell, touch, and sound – yet so profound.
Awaken your curiosity and explore food in a new way. Sushi By Bou’s dining in the dark, nurtures its desire to foster trust between the key four (not two or even three) – the Taisho (sushi master), the taster, the tactile, and the tasted. The bold fusion of omakase sushi is writing another chapter. So, an avant-garde culinary adventure must then be inevitable. Intrigued?
This innovative food concept is not merely about savoring a meal; it’s about redefining the way we engage with food and the world around us. Visual cues are absent, but mysterious energy still roams in the art deco, elegant halls of Claridge House. Sushi (and dining) in Chicago has never been more exciting than dining sight unseen at Sushi By Bou, which is serving creative omakase taste and texture explosions in the dark from November 2023 to January 2024 on select dates.
Here, guests enjoy a premium 12-course omakase tasting menu that is paced to perfection in 90 minutes. A crafted selection of Japanese drinks from the bar also finds their way – a la carte – to guests, both before, during, and after dinner.
