  • HIKARU by TOMO (Edomae Omakase)

    CA$135.00 per person

    1 - 8 people

    Multiple dates available
    HIKARU means “light” in Japanese—a reflection of our desire to shine light on the artistry, flavours, and hospitality of Japanese culture. At the heart of HIKARU by TOMO is Executive Chef Daniel Ken Miyamoto, who leads the culinary direction alongside Chef Hikaru Yokoyama. From the signature sushi rice to the delicate nigiri toppings and composed dishes, Chef Miyamoto shapes the menu, with both chefs contributing their expertise and individual touch. Of Japanese and Brazilian heritage, Chef Miyamoto brings over 30 years of culinary experience. His journey began at age 12 in his family’s restaurant in Brazil, developing into a lifelong dedication to his craft. Japanese-born Chef Yokoyama brings over nine years of culinary experience and a thoughtful approach to the preparation and presentation of each course. Our 16-course omakase features exquisite sashimi, ten pieces of premium nigiri, a hand roll, an A5 Japanese Wagyu skewer, soup, and dessert—prepared and presented before you throughout the evening. Set at an intimate chef’s counter within the lively atmosphere of TOMO, HIKARU brings together Japanese tradition, warm conversation, and the energy of a vibrant restaurant. An evening to discover, connect, and savour—one course at a time.

    日本人シェフによる本物の寿司を味わえた。 もう少し刺身の切り方が大きい方が良いなとは思ったものの、味には文句のつけようがない。

    Outstanding omakase experience in Ottawa, chef was very good and the server was very knowledgeable as well, the two make a great pair and should have their own spot outside of tomo!

FAQs

Yes, Tomo is frequently recommended for date night, with guests calling it a great spot for calm dates, intimate evenings and anniversaries.

For the omakase experience, portions have been described as "perfect", one guest said they left feeling satisfied and full after the 16-course meal.

Weekends are lively, Friday and Saturday nights are best if you want the late-night scene, while dinner service runs Tuesday through Sunday evenings (5:00 pm–11:00 pm).

Tomo feels intimate and refined, a dimly lit, date-night-friendly fine-dining room with a calm, focused counter for omakase that can turn livelier later in the weekend.

For a calmer, intimate meal at Tomo Restaurant try a weekday evening, guests mention Tuesday nights as a lovely, relaxed time; for a livelier late-night vibe come late Friday or Saturday when the bar stays open and the place turns upbeat around 10pm.

Yes, families are welcome: one guest brought their son and enjoyed the chef’s taster menu, with non-alcoholic cocktails available for younger diners.
