Back to basics: UMINONO AT HOME

Hey everyone!! I hope you are doing well!
Just touching base to say that we are still alive 😂

Demolition at the shop is done and the new structure is coming into shape 😊

The boys are enjoying some good time off, I have been napping and surfing a lot… aaaaaannnd I am bored now!

3 weeks away from fish and knives was too long!
Yesterday was our first omakase at home in a very long time!!

I have been missing that, this is how Uminono started in 2018 and pretty proud to see where WE are now!

Anyway, until the shop is ready, to keep us busy and to add a bit of “beurre dans les épinards” I am back with private Omakase at home 😃

How does that work?
About 16 courses, your home, your friends, your drinks and us.

•6 to 8 people
•$300 / person

Get in touch with your date, address and number of people for bookings 😉

Any questions?

Ps: we don’t cater for vegetarian / vegan 🙃

11/02/2023

And that’s it! Yesterday was our last day until reopening our brand new sushi bar in April!

Thank you to everyone who ordered this week, very grateful for your support, we have been sold out pretty much every day!

Those coming weeks are going to be intense but we are ready for a good break after that 🏄‍♂️😴

I will keep you posted with pictures along the renovations 😉

Cheers
Nono & the team

Some nice words about about yesterday in 😊

02/02/2023

The original Omakase Box 🤙

In this one: big eye tuna akami, otoro, Hiramasa kingfish, , snapper, aji, Paradise prawn, Hokkaido scallops, anago…
Lot of dry aged fish, kombu marinated, slightly torched, and all our creative toppings and oils 👌

23/01/2023

We are back at work tomorrow!

SAME DAY ONLINE ORDER is now a thing if I said it enough 🙃 (3hours notice)

If you are wondering “humm… should I get a chirashi this week?”
I can tell you “Yep, absolutely!” and that’s the best $45 you will spend this week 😊

If you scroll to the 2nd pic, you will see one of our very fashion tote bags. Premium printing on one side and embroidered on the other side.

I may have ordered too many merchandising 😅
So if you want to help us make some room before our renovations (and shop in style), feel free to check the website for the available merch 😎

One more thing, we will be closed for business on Thursday 26th January.

Cheers
Nono

Dry aged yellowfin tuna.
One of the best yellowfin we had… maybe ever?

But also the first tuna we received in weeks.
Some of you might have noticed that we didn’t serve any tuna lately.

The reason is very simple: either no tuna available at all or only poor quality available. And as you know us, serving a low quality tuna isn’t even an option 🙃

Some days it’s a bit frustrating but then it push us to use other quality ingredient and be more creative 😊

Actually it reminds us how lucky we are when we have some of the best seasonal fish on the chopping board and that we should appreciate the efforts from our supplier to source the best for us 😉

🌈 So what’s going on at Uminono??

Well we are pretty much 1 month away from starting our renovations.

This isn’t sure yet if we will be open for Valentine’s Day, we might start the demolition few days before 👷‍♂️

We will be closed during the whole time of renovations.

IF we open on the 14th February, there will be a special box available 💌

What is sure (well from my plan at least…) is that we will be opening for dining in April!!

We will be serving our Omakase Express for lunch, 12 seats only (at the counter).

Good wines and sake, good food, good people… what else do you need? 😃

I will be looking for 8 people to test / taste our omakase before our official opening… stay tuned 🤫

And also, we are now on the hunt for a sushi chef to join the team, so pass the word around if you know someone 😊

Cheers
Nono

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy holidays to all of you!!

Whatever you celebrate, I wish you all a great time with your loved ones and warm thoughts for those that can’t be with you today.

Very grateful for a successful yet challenging year (business and personal).

I am specially happy that my team (me included haha) can enjoy Christmas Day out of work and be with family & friends.
It’s a beautiful day to sit back, relax, appreciate what we have done so far and enjoy life☀️

Thanks to all of you for your support and enjoying our sushi!

Thanks to my team .abry for your dedication at work EVERYDAY

Thanks to my supplier for always making sure that we get the best products available

I am really looking forward to showing you Uminono in April after our renovations 🙌

Also you might have seen that our Insta is a bit less active lately. Just very very busy all day in the kitchen + planning the renovations. And I won’t lie, it feels good to take a break from social media once in a while 😁

Happy holidays, love you all 💛
Nono

Today we received our new plates from

They are hand made in Japan and most importantly they look awesome 😎

This one is specific for nigiri, which you will enjoy at lunch for our Omakase Express.

I love the pebble look.
It actually remind me a lot of my hometown where the beach is covered by those large pebbles, nicely rounded & polished by the sea.
You hate walking on them but still love looking at them haha!

On the plate?
Spanner crab nigiri with ses
ame, dashi, lime zest, roasted spring onion oil & ikura.
It’s my new favorite nigiri 🤫

We are now entering the (very) busy part of Christmas season.

This Friday we are exceptionally closed for a private Christmas function off site. So please make sure to order for the rest of the week to avoid missing out 😉

24th December is already fully booked for takeaway boxes but there is still some availability around those dates.

Cheers!

30/11/2022

This is not a picture for a “Uminono Calendar” 😂

Yesterday I put the name on the door and finally today we managed to fixe the lightbox.
Who would have thought that sticking a logo could be so stressful?!😅

You can’t miss us now!

So happy and proud to see my logo, my brand outside my own shop.
I started Uminono 4 years ago, and I would have never expected to have my own shop, a team of 3 amazing chefs working with me and so many people supporting us (talking about you guys)!

If you haven’t heard, we are still doing takeaway only at the moment.
We are renovating our shop in February and should be ready to welcome you in April for a proper dining experience.

In the meantime, Christmas is in 25 days!
Our special Christmas box for 2022 is now available online (pickup starting Friday 2nd).
There is also a whole CHRISTMAS SECTION on the website 🎄🎅

And if you have been courageous enough to keep reading until here, you will know that our online pre-order for whole December is opening just now.

Don’t miss it 😉

We’ve got some good fish this week!
Well actually every week 😂

Bluefin tuna, started dry aging this morning.
Swordfish aging since Saturday.

Should be on point from Thursday 👌

10/11/2022

Another day another 🍣 box

Sold out on Saturday guys, running at full capacity 🚀

Still few availabilities for tomorrow though. You can order online until midnight or give me a call in the morning 😉

We have a new sushi chef starting on Tuesday! Hey Greg 👋
So soon we will be able to increase our capacity.

01/11/2022

Craving for a chirashi bowl this week?

We will be ready for WALK-IN ORDERS but better safe than sorry, pre-order online or give us a call in the morning 😉

28/10/2022

Would you like to eat your sushi box on site?

As you know, we now have quite a big space and it’s a bit sad without people around 😅

So we thought about giving you the opportunity to pickup your box and stay with us to eat here.

There is just 14 seats, no booking possible. So first in first serve basically 😊

No change in our pre-ordering system but we would also do walk-in chirashi.

Plus we are not far to receive our liquor licence champagne 🤞🥂 🍣

Let me know what you think, that’s our workplace but this is “your” restaurant after all, you are the one to enjoy the place 😊

24/10/2022

Feeling like having some good sushi this week??

You can easily pre-order online up to 2 weeks in advance and until midnight the day before.

Or give us a call for same day order 😉

Have a good week guys ✌️

19/10/2022

Just 2 days in our new kitchen and honestly things are way easier in a bigger space!
Who would have thought??

If you forgot to pre-order, you can give me a call in the morning for same day pickup 😉

We will do our best to accommodate.

Cheers 🤙

18/10/2022

Is it one of your favorite??

Otoro box (imported from 🇯🇵)
9 otoro nigiri topped with our smoked soy curd & 9 fatty pieces of maki.

And soon available as a tote bag 😎

17/10/2022

See you at the new shop from tomorrow!! That’s quite a big moment for me 😊

The new kitchen is HUGE so bring it on with the orders 🤙🤙

Just to remind you, we are still TAKEAWAY ONLY :)

Our new shop is nice and spacious but just not as I want to received my dear guests (you 😉).

We will be doing some renovations in February AND THEN you will be able to sit at a proper sushi counter.

Slowly but surely we are getting bigger and stronger. And this is all happening thanks to you guys 🙏

There is no investors behind Uminono, it’s just us working hard and reinvesting every cents into the business to offer you something very special 🙌

I can’t wait to see the final renovations, I think you will love it 💛 and I truely believe it will be something different in Melbourne.

13/10/2022

24 CHATHAM ST, PRAHRAN VIC

Yep, that’s the address of our NEW SHOP and we are MOVING there from TUESDAY😉

But hold on! The new shopfitting is not done yet so don’t get too excited 😅

Let me explain what’s going on:

Sooo… I was expecting to have our new restaurant ready by November the latest. It turns out that it couldn’t be ready before February at best. (Major delays all over building industry)

The coming months are extremely important for the business and I couldn’t take the risk to be shut down for too long.

SO! I have decided to report the construction to late February and have everything ready for April🤞

In the meantime we will be focusing on serving you the best sushi boxes for takeaway!

This isn’t happening as I expected, but we (the team) have to adapt, deal with the situation and take the best out of it.

This is the beginning of a new exciting adventure and big challenges!

Oh and on another note, a new sushi chef will be joining the team very soon 🤙

11/10/2022

Special uni chirashi 🤯

AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW
-
Short spine uni A grade, Ikura, Ama ebi, fatty tuna tartare, confit egg yolk, premium nori…

A chirashi just like I had for breakfast at the Toyosu Fish Market with 😋

We are in the best time of the year for uni. I can tell that they are even better than what I had in Tokyo 2 weeks ago 🤫

20/08/2022

And off we go! 🫡🤙

See you in October everyone!
I will keep you updated with the shop.

Also I might post about my trip in my stories (specially food 😎) I am sure a few of view will enjoy to see what’s happening over there.

A bientôt!

05/08/2022

To finish our two last weeks before flying to holidays, we will have a special box available from Tuesday until our last day Thursday 18th August. (Yes we changed the date😅)

It will be name the FAREWELL BOX (it makes sense I guess 🙃)

There will be no limited quantity on this one and we keep it at a fair price so that many of you can enjoy :)

More information later tonight and available for pre order tomorrow 12pm 😉

One of the piece I love in this special box:
Bluefin tuna marinated in soy & yuzu, with chives between the rice and tuna 🤯

26/07/2022

Alrighty guys, this week marks our last lunch service at our Greville St address.

But before going on holidays, we are still doing our take away boxes and trust me that we are going to push the limit until Friday 19th August 7.01pm 💪 (I have a new shop to pay now 😂)

So from next week we will be able to increase (a bit) our daily production.

If you didn’t hear before: 📣
we will be CLOSED from 20th AUGUST until EARLY OCTOBER.

I hope your week is going smoothly so far, see you soon 🤙

22/07/2022

Busy week in the kitchen and not much time to make nice pictures… So just going through my pictures and found something to post to keep the algorithm happy 😅

Anyway I know you enjoy the view of good sushi!

Which get me to ask, NEXT WEEK SPECIAL:
how about a box for two, nigiri only?

I already have some FATTY SWORDFISH ageing in the fridge which I plan to marinate with YUZU & OUR SECRET SAUCE 🤫

20/07/2022

box in the sky 🛩

You know it’s time for a break when your sushi travel more than you did in the last 3 years 😂

Next week (fully booked) is our last week of doing lunch. Our friends from St Edmonds Cafe are back in business with the best coffee!

DO NOT FORGET TO ORDER before our long break.

19th AUGUST will be our LAST DAY of trading guys, after that: Ciao bye bye 😘🏝☀️😎

If everything goes well, we should be able to reopen early October from the new venue… so see you in November 😅😂

No seriously we will be back in October to matter what!

10/07/2022

What’s going on at Uminono??
Time for some update 😉

As you know, we have a new venue (really close from our current address). Big big thank you for all your encouragement messages, I haven’t been able to reply to all (sorry!!) but trust me that I have read each one of them 🙏

While I am planning to open the new venue early October, we are also flying to Europe on the 21st August for holidays (OOH WEE!!).

So 19th August will be our LAST DAY OF TRADING . After that we will completely stop operating from St Edmonds Cafe.

Uminono will RESTART early OCTOBER.

Talking about St Edmonds Cafe (you know the people with who we share the space), they are back in business at the end of the month. Sadly we will stop our chirashi lunch and focus on takeaway only due to space matter.

Those are very exciting (stressful) times!
The sushi bar’s design is on progress & the search for a new sushi chef seems to be successful 🤙

I will share some pictures of new venue when possible.

In the meantime I am trying to maintain our Instagram attractive, but seriously this is a full-time job and hours are missing in my day 😅

Don’t hesitate to tell me what you would like to see more often or not on this page, I will do my best 🫡

In final: ONLY 6 WEEKS LEFT to order from us!

Cheers,
Nono

Tomorrow is SOLD OUT

Thanks, have a nice weekend everyone ✌️

19/05/2022

A lot of new faces around and I often forget the obvious: not everyone knows HOW IT WORKS!

So first welcome to the new people 😉

We are mainly doing sushi boxes for takeaway. All our boxes are available for pre-order via our website (link in bio) with minimum 1 day notice.

Once you get online, it’s super easy: select your boxes, at checkout select a day & time for pick-up, then process online payment et voilà!

You can pick-up Tuesday to Saturday, from 11.30am to 7pm.

To FIND US? That’s the tricky part for 1st time visitors 😂
Follow Google map’s instructions, we are located inside the cafe St Edmonds in Prahran. So if you if see two French guys making sushi, don’t be shy and come in… that should be us.

Our daily production is limited simply to maintain a high quality and because everything is freshly made just before pick-up. Many days get SOLD OUT quickly so better to order few days ahead.

Did I miss something? Let me know!

Cheers, Nono

17/05/2022

It’s tuna season and I’m all over it!

What’s happening this week?
Lunch is fully booked buuut we have some availability for the boxes 😉

Still few spots for tomorrow and Thursday, the rest of the week is already nearly sold out so don’t miss your chance if you are planning a Netflix & sushi lazy evening 🙃

Head to the website (link in bio) to pre-order your box(es ??) and pickup at our shop in Prahran.

Also truffle season is around the corner…

See ya ✌️

16/05/2022

If you had to choose 1 fish only??

I go for no question 🫡

And ours is always dry aged 🤫

13/05/2022

Nice cut of otoro from today 🙌

08/04/2022

Question: if we introduce an “Express Omakase” for lunch at the counter… are you in for it? 🤔 As much as for the chirashi??

Let me know, truth can hurt but I am tough as a nail (not 😂)

As you heard last week guys, I am doing a very special collaboration with @planjapan . In September we will be taking 6 of you for a unique experience: 5 nights in Tokyo to visit the most exclusive sushi restaurants in Japan (and more). + you’ve got to say that you were with me for my first trip to Japan 😂 Imagine 5 days of exclusive private dining, special access to the fish market, eating at some restaurants that not even locals could dream of and also discovering some very cool bars with me haha For more info: head to @planjapan and hit the link in bio. There you can register your interest and also check all the special tours that they are doing 👌 Important to mention: due to the super high demand we will be selecting the 6 people randomly. REGISTER YOUR INTEREST UNTIL FRIDAY to be part of the rafle 😉

Maki and Deluxe - Perfect to start and share at your dinner party 🥂🍣

Hey guys! A lot of new faces around here so I thought that a little post about what we do would be welcome 😉 🍱🍣 Our big thing is to do premium sushi boxes. What makes it premium you ask? We use the absolute best seafood and rice available in Australia, we dry age a big part of our fish and we bring an extra touch of creativity on each sushi. We prep a new sushi rice every 45min in a traditional way. Everything is made as you would expect at a fine dining sushi restaurant. Everything is freshly made before your pick up time. Also we serve your sushi in a decent packaging that you can proudly show up with at your next dinner party 👌 🍚 We also have a tiny chirashi bar: 6 seats, 3 options only on the menu and 2 seatings (12pm and 1.30pm). Nothing too serious when sitting with us, only good food and good chat. Booking essential (up to 4 weeks in advance) Now, how to order?? •Via our website (link in bio) •Minimum 1 day notice (cutoff time Midnight) •Simply select your boxes, day and time of pickup then pay at checkout. Easy-peasy We are open Tuesday to Saturday. (We are not doing boxes between 12pm and 3pm as we are focusing on the chirashi bar). If a day isn’t available for pickup, it means that we are fully booked for that day. We are a super small business and prefer to limit our production rather than risk the quality. That’s all for me folks. Let me know your questions below 👇 if you have any. Cheers, Nono

@orakingsalmon 🔥 #foodporn

Bluefin tuna from NZ - We are fully booked for this week but you can already order your sushi box for next week 😊 - Thank you guys, enjoy your Friday!

Sashimi box to conclude another crazy week ✌️😘

Omakase box

Celebration box 🎄

Some great news today! - We will reopen for lunch from Wednesday 3rd November. Today’s news were quite unexpected and we won’t be ready until then 🙂 - Bookings will open from Friday 22nd - That’s about it, I hope you had a good weekend everyone ✌️

Small details that make the difference 😉 - @orakingsalmon 6 days dry aged for nigiri. - The aging process reduces the humidity in fish and concentrate the fatness. (As you can see on the board) - I don't get pay by @orakingsalmon to say that 😅… but that's really the best salmon you can get. No wonder you find it at the best tables all around the world.

Bluefin - akami 🔪😌
