oma

Situated within the Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico City, OMA is a cozy 45-square-meter hideaway that immerses visitors in a realm of enchantment and peacefulness, drawing inspiration from the famed Japanese story of Urashima Tarō. When entering, guests are surrounded by a cozy and enchanting ambiance where the beauty of sea life and old myths are brought to reality.

The restaurant is created to recreate the atmosphere of the deep ocean; its vaulted ceiling in sandy tones and the cut it showcases make you feel like you are under the ocean floor. Purple rosewood wainscoting is solidly incorporated into the walls, paying homage to Japan's skilled artisans by replicating the gentle motion of waves. In this place, guests experience not just a delicious variety of tastes, but also set out on an adventure that links them with the enigmas of the sea and its fantastical beings.

Although compact, the space feels open because of its simple and inviting design. The sushi bar, adorned with volcanic rock and quartzite, promotes intimate communication between the chef and guests, resulting in a one-of-a-kind dining experience. The soft lighting, resembling bioluminescence in the sea, adds to the feeling of being underwater, and the quiet sounds of waves and distant chants finish the sensory experience.
