Hidden within Blackpearl, a modern Edomae-style sushi omakase where tradition, discipline, and quiet innovation come together for eight guests at a time.
Reserve via TockBlackpearl Omakase is an intimate sushi experience quietly tucked within Blackpearl Restaurant. Rooted in contemporary Edomae tradition, the eight-seat chef's counter offers a seasonally driven omakase guided by precision, balance, and deep respect for each ingredient.
Every course is prepared with intention — honoring time-tested techniques while embracing thoughtful modern expression. The experience unfolds at an unhurried pace, allowing flavors to develop and a quiet conversation to build between guest, chef, and counter.
In a world that often feels rushed, our omakase offers a brief sensory escape — an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and experience fine dining as it was meant to be shared.
Michelin-starred · Edomae tradition
Blackpearl Omakase is led by Michelin-starred Omakase Chef Wei Chen, whose culinary journey began as an apprentice at MASA in New York City — the only three-Michelin-star Japanese restaurant in the United States, under the legendary Chef Masa Takayama. After years of rigorous training and refinement, Chef Wei moved to Florida, earning recognition in Tampa before bringing his craft to Ponte Vedra Beach.
His approach is rooted in humility, patience, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Rather than imposing formality, he creates a space of calm and connection — where guests are invited to relax, engage, and fully experience each moment at the counter. His philosophy honors Edomae tradition while embracing subtle modern innovation, always guided by seasonality and respect for the ingredient.
Inspired by his sensei, Chef Masa Takayama, and presented in a setting reminiscent of classic sushi bars of old, Chef Wei's omakase is designed to feel timeless — both nostalgic and forward-looking.
