Maruumi River View Omakase is a omakase restaurant in a café. This new restaurant opened in 2023. It is located at the Siriraj Pier, also known as Prannok Pier. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner omakase with a view of the Chao Praya River. The restaurant was decorated in beach and ocean decor with shades of white, beige, and blue, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Its intimate space allows customers to interact with the chef and observe the meticulous preparation of seafood at the counter.
At Maruumi, diners are in for a treat as they experience the culinary mastery of Executive Chef Sawek Taochalee. Having spent over two decades in Germany before returning to Thailand, Chef Sawek brings a unique blend of influences to his dishes. Infused with the authentic Japanese culinary philosophy, each dish also carries his personal touch, creating a dining experience like no other.
Chef Sawek pays meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every ball of sushi rice is prepared at the optimal temperature. Only the finest ingredients, including salmon, tuna, sea urchins, and fish liver - all handpicked and imported from Japan, are expertly combined with Asian, European, and Thai flavours. The result is an unforgettable omakase experience that promises a delightful fusion of flavours and textures.
This river-view omakase restaurant offers a wide range of selections, from 9 to 17 courses, with dishes that may vary depending on the season and the catch.
One of the highlight courses is Awabi, or Abalone, which consists of a sauce made from abalone liver, teriyaki, soy sauce, and peanut oil. The chef steams the abalone with sake for hours until it's soft, juicy, and aromatic. Then, it's thinly sliced and topped with the sauce, which complements the abalone.
Crab Chawamushi is an exceptional dish that deserves special recognition. This savoury Japanese custard is meticulously prepared using murex snail soup, crab roe, and crab meat, simmered for 5 hours to infuse the flavours. The dish is then elegantly topped with ikura and fragrant yuzu zest for a harmonious blend of flavours and textures.
Grilled Hotate and Ebiko Sauce is a delightful dish with a grilled scallop from Hokkaido, Japan. Scallops are known for their sweet flavour and tender texture. The scallop is expertly grilled, allowing it to develop a slight charcoal aroma that enhances its overall appeal. The dish is further complemented by a luscious Ebiko sauce, adding a rich and flavourful element.
Whether it's Madai or Hamachi Nigiri, their sushi rice is prepared with akasu vinegar, a premium red vinegar. This lends the sushi rice its colour and provides a pleasant acidity, rich aroma, and roundness. It complements the mildly sweet taste of Madai or Hamachi's buttery, slightly sweet flavour. The nigiri is then topped with Chef Sawek's special jelly sauce, adding some texture and a fresh citrus note, and freshly grated pink salt for some mineral taste.
Ama Ebi Nigiri with Gochujang and Nam Prik Pao is an exquisite Japanese dish with Korean and Thai flair that features succulent shrimp nigiri cut in half. One half is served with gochujang, a savoury and spicy fermented chilli paste from Korea, while the other half is paired with nam prik pao, a rich and aromatic Thai chilli jam. The harmonious combination of these flavours creates a culinary masterpiece that delights the senses with each bite.
The Uni Bafun Handroll showcases the exquisite flavours of fresh and sweet Bafun Uni sushi from Hokkaido, delicately wrapped in a generous size of nori sheet. This delectable handroll offers a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, making it a delightful treat for sushi enthusiasts.
Otoro Temaki with Negi and Ikura is a delectable sushi hand roll made with the luxurious otoro, the fattiest part of the tuna, combined with seasoned sushi rice and wrapped in a crisp nori cone. To enhance the flavour and aroma, it is topped with finely chopped Japanese spring onions, known as Negi and ikura. The marriage of the velvety otoro, the umami-rich ikura, the fragrant Negi, and the sumptuous rice results in a sensational and luxurious gastronomic experience.
Murex Snail Risotto is an exquisite dish that embraces the subtle flavours of murex snail, which has been carefully simmered for 5 hours to extract its essence. The rich and flavorful broth derived from this process is then employed to cook the risotto rice, infusing it with a deep and savoury taste. To further elevate the dish, it is elegantly adorned with bafun uni and ikura, adding luxurious notes of creaminess and brininess that complement the murex nail risotto perfectly.
Chutoro Truffle Nigiri showcases the perfect combination of chutoro, the slightly fatty tuna belly, and freshly shaved truffle, resulting in a meticulously crafted piece of sushi that promises an exquisite flavour profile with unmistakable truffle notes.
Maruumi is an exquisite omakase restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. Guests can indulge in a curated selection of freshly prepared sushi while enjoying the picturesque backdrop of the Chao Phraya River. Unlike traditional omakase dining venues with khaki wooden settings, Maruumi provides a captivating ambience with a stunning river view, creating an unforgettable culinary journey for patrons.
