The story

Omakase RI: Traditional Edomae Sushi in Lisbon – Michelin Recommended

Old Souls, Free Spirits

"A group of young people with old souls." That is how the team behind Omakase RI describes themselves. They are passionate about serving traditional Edomae sushi — the old-school Tokyo style where fish is marinated, aged, or cured to deepen flavor — but they do it on their own terms. Expect sake, visible tattoos, hip hop playing loud, and a refusal to take themselves too seriously. The dining room holds just ten seats, making each evening an intimate, unfiltered conversation between chef and guest.

The Omakase Experience

There is no à la carte here. Omakase RI offers a multi-course tasting menu that follows the Edomae tradition, course by deliberate course. The team makes a point of not working with salmon, staying true to the classic repertoire. Guests are asked to skip strong perfumes and to arrive on time for the two-hour journey. There is no vegetarian or vegan option — this is a restaurant devoted to fish, rice, and the precision of Japanese technique.

A Michelin-Recognized Counter

In 2026 the Michelin guide highlighted Omakase RI as a Recommended restaurant, a nod to the seriousness beneath the playful atmosphere. The counter is the heart of the space: you watch the chefs slice, press, and glaze each piece, while the music and conversation keep the mood anything but stiff. It is a rare combination — deep respect for tradition and a stubborn insistence on having fun.
