To Chef Oyama, the concept of “dining” revolves around the moment of encounter shared by the guest and the dining space. It is no other than the earthly cuisine. ‘Sushi’ has almost become a global synonym for Japanese cuisine, a prominent part of the Japanese food culture.
“My ultimate goal is to create the F&B service with ‘guest’, ‘food’ and ‘space’ as top priority. I intend to share and spread the Japanese culture and express the richness of Mother Nature and Ocean via ‘Sushi’ here in Asia. VIVA JAPAN!” – Takeo Oyama

Sushi Oyama and our three principles.
1. “Treasure every moment” – to design the perfect moment of first encounter shared by the guest and the restaurant.
2. “Cooking” – to show respect towards the ingredients and their pure quality, and to pursue appropriate culinary skills that creates a good balance of the five flavours (sour, spicy, sweet, bitter, salty) and their features (coldness, coolness, heat, warmness, flatness).
3. “Wholehearted effort” – to create a pleasant space that leaves an indefinite impression in the heart. About Kappo Yu and Chef Yohei Terada
