Medway's trust‑the‑chef sushi
A new trust‑the‑chef sushi bar in Medway is asking diners to hand over the menu and let the chef craft the experience — a leaner, omakase‑style concept moving beyond big‑city cores. Early buzz praises the curated, surprise‑driven tasting approach as a fresh local dining option. (x.com) (x.com)
Omakase at 55 operates beneath Fish at 55 at 55 High Street, Rochester (ME1 1LN) and is built around an intimate six-seat chef’s counter rather than a conventional dining room. (fishat55.co.uk) The experience is a roughly 13-course, seasonally driven tasting served from 7pm on Thursdays, with the venue announcing an extra Friday sitting starting March 27 to meet demand. (premium.kentonline.co.uk) Cover for the counter is set at £165 per person, a flat price that the restaurant frames as reflecting premium sourcing and technique for the multi-course sequence. (premium.kentonline.co.uk) Executive Chef Thiago Krobath leads the service; profiles from the restaurant say he trains in Edomae-style techniques, has travelled to Japan to study, and was invited to compete in the Sushi World Cup. (fishat55.co.uk) (premium.kentonline.co.uk) Bookings run via the Fish at 55 reservation channels and the Omakase waiting list, with the venue listing phone 01634 844609 and an info email on its booking page. (fishat55.co.uk) Fish at 55 holds a strong local profile — the main restaurant is rated about 4.7 on TripAdvisor and ranks in the top five Rochester restaurants — and the new counter has been promoted through short-form social clips and local openings coverage.
