Sushi legend Hatsushiro Muraoka, fondly known as Papa San, joined forces with chef-partner Ben Bettendorf to open Obi on Long Street. We reported in May that the two saw Obi as an opportunity to showcase the clean flavours of Japanese cuisine, and this they do here with simplicity and skill.

    What’s to say Obi is still my favourite Japanese 🇯🇵 Sushi 🍣 restaurant in Cape Town. I’ve been eating there for years and have always enjoyed every meal.
