The Art of Smoked Sushi

One of the questions we get most often at Wabii Sabii is: "What makes your sushi so special?" The answer lies in our unique smoking process.

A Technique Born from Passion

Our founder spent years studying traditional Japanese sushi craftsmanship before experimenting with cold-smoking techniques. The result? A sushi experience that's truly one of a kind.

How It Works

Unlike hot smoking (which cooks the fish), our cold-smoking process:

  1. Uses premium wood chips for a delicate, aromatic smoke
  2. Infuses flavor without cooking the fish
  3. Preserves the buttery texture of fresh sushi
  4. Adds a subtle complexity that perfectly pairs with our house-made sauces

Try It Yourself

Our most popular smoked creations include:

  • Grand Smoked Sushi Platter — Perfect for parties (16 or 32 pieces)
  • Salmon Nigiri — Lightly smoked for an extra layer of flavor
  • Crab Mousse Jackpot Roll — A chef's special that customers rave about

Pairing Suggestions

Our smoked sushi pairs beautifully with a chilled sake or a crisp Japanese beer. Ask our staff for their recommendations when you visit!
