The Hongkong head chef worked in Japan and Macau for over 20 years before opening Umami in 2015 as he got hooked on the charm and slower pace of Tainan City upon his first visit. The cosy, wood-clad room is furnished in traditional Japanese style, with meticulous attention to detail. Diners can choose between the omakase menu and the nigiri sushi set: the former comprises multiple courses with sashimi, kappo dishes, tempura and sushi.
