OMAKASE AT 55 ROCHESTER

BY ADAM READY PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALEX WATSON, NEW OPENINGS

TUCKED DISCREETLY BENEATH FISH AT 55 ON ROCHESTER’ S HISTORIC HIGH STREET LIES ONE OF KENT’ S FRESHEST( QUITE LITERALLY) NEW DINING EXPERIENCES. OMAKASE AT 55 IS NOT SIMPLY AN EXTENSION TO SEAFOOD-CENTRIC FISH AT 55’ S MENU, IT’ S A FINELY TUNED OFFERING COMBINING SKILLED KITCHEN THEATRE, JAPANESE RITUAL AND SUSHI CRAFTSMANSHIP, PLAYED OUT ACROSS A COUNTER WITH JUST SIX SEATS. FOR AROUND TWO HOURS, YOU RELINQUISH CONTROL OF THE MENU, AND THAT, IN MANY WAYS, IS PRECISELY THE POINT.
