A special way of preparing food starting with the udon Carbonara…. The perfect fusion of East and West without diluting the core aspects of each side of the equation.

The dishes that we sampled were uniformly well executed and full of flavors. The scallop appetizer was quite delicious, and the chef selections of nigiri and sashimi were great and of wide variety. The tilefish was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Vegetable side dishes were show stealing. I especially loved the cauliflower, packed with a lot of flavor.

Taru offers an unparalleled culinary experience set in an expansive elegantly designed space. The menu is a gastronomic masterpiece – from the Milk Bread, crispy pig ears, cherrywood smoked octopus, crab chawanmushi, grilled whole mackerel to the tantalizing Sashimi Platter, each dish speaks volumes of the kitchen’s commitment to freshness and quality. The culinary journey was topped off with a delightful mocha hazelnut cake.

Omakase is a unique and special dining experience that involves entrusting the chef to create a personalized, multi-course meal based on the freshest ingredients of the day. If you’re a fan of omakase or just looking for a unique and memorable dining experience, Taru is definitely worth trying at least once. Just be sure to come hungry and with an open mind!
