99 Sushi Bar is a chain of Japanese restaurants. The location in Abu Dhabi has received a Michelin star.
According to the Michelin Guide, "There’s no shortage of finesse and precision in the well-constructed and beautifully presented dishes at this chic Japanese restaurant; skills whose primary goal is to underline the quality of the ingredients. Even the more contemporary touches are done with subtlety and care." [1] A reviewer writing for The National said "The restaurant specialises in 'haute cuisine', an expression that traditionally refers to high quality and meticulously prepared French fare, except it's exceptional Japanese food that's on offer here. Accordingly, the menu offers a strong selection of tartars and temaki plus three types of sushi, in addition to bluefin tuna, and Wagyu and Kobe dishes." [2]
Japanese cuisine encompasses the regional and traditional foods of Japan, which have developed through centuries of political, economic, and social changes. The traditional cuisine of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Common seafood is often grilled, but it is also sometimes served raw as sashimi or as sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also deep-fried in a light batter, as tempura. Apart from rice, a staple includes noodles, such as soba and udon. Japan also has many simmered dishes, such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga.
