Umami

Strasbourg


Simplicity is the ethos at Michelin-starred Umami, loosely translated as ‘savoury’, the fifth taste in Japanese cuisine. A starkly minimalist, art-strewn bistro sets the scene for taste sensations like red-curry gambas ravioli, and fillet of wild cod with black rice sliding into an oyster and truffle sauce.
