01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Step onto the 2th floor and through the door, and the interior reveals a tranquil setting that clearly retains traces of the venue's past as a bar. Unpretentious and relaxed, amalie offers meticulously prepared, authentic Edomae sushi without any stiff formality. Chatting with the chef across the counter while savouring dishes tailored to the qualities of seasonal seafood is the defining pleasure of dining here.
Seasonal Specialities and Delicately Formed Nigiri
The anchor of the menu is the omakase course combining seasonal small plates and nigiri. The meal begins with a varied assortment of drinking snacks—small side dishes, grilled fish, and gentle simmered fare that naturally encourage another sip. When the sushi arrives, the compact mounds of seasoned rice yield pleasantly on the palate, each distinct grain balancing the rich flavour of the seafood topping. Classic Edomae cuts like lean akami, medium fatty chutoro, kohada gizzard shad, and simmered sea eel are staples, but guests may also encounter rarer delicacies, such as wild blue eel from Okayama Prefecture's Aoe area served plain-grilled or as nigiri.
Quiet Evenings with Sake and Wine
A well-chosen drink selection complements the cooking, featuring curated sake labels alongside white wines and other alcoholic beverages. Lunch omakase courses are also available, and the dining room carries an easy calm suited equally to an evening dinner with companions or a solo visit focused on good food. Securing a reservation beforehand ensures an unhurried encounter with skilled seasonal sushi craft.
