 For the first course, we were greeted by this mysterious dome of smoke!

 When the cloche was lifted and the smoke dissipated, a bird's nest emerged.

 We had the Smoked Duck Breast first, where the smoke flavor was much more prominent than the usual smoked duck breast we've had before.

 The Smoked Eggs would've been better if they were soft boiled rather than hard boiled.  As we had the duck breast before the eggs, the smoke flavor was much less detectable in the eggs.  The eggs were still delicious with the smoky element nonetheless.

 Next, we were served the Avocado Tartar, where you couldn't tell what was hidden in the avocado half shell when presented.

 Underneath the creamy avocado concoction were sashimi pieces and all the way in the bottom was one singular piece of tamagoyaki.  The sashimi pieces were incredibly succulent with the tantalizing concoction of avocado and wasabi dressing.

 For our soup course, the chef prepared the Bonito and Ox Bone Broth at the table. The Bonito and Ox Bone Broth was prepared in a siphon coffee maker where the ox bone broth gets infused with the flavor from the bonito flakes.

 After the ox bone broth finished cooking in the siphon coffee maker, the chef poured the hot broth into bowls that had the rest of the ingredients for the soup.

 The bonito and ox bone broth was very flavorful and delectable, while the rest of the soup ingredients such as the lotus roots and meatball were soft and toothsome!

 When the next course was presented, we were surprised to see newspaper on our plates!  Turns out the newspaper is actually edible paper wafer that had newspaper contents printed on it with edible ink!  Rolled inside the newspaper was a piece of teriyaki chicken.

 The Teriyaki Chicken in Newspaper was a chicken thigh piece that was very tender and seasoned just right with teriyaki sauce.  The newspaper wafer gave the teriyaki chicken a slightly crispy texture which was very interesting.

 For the fried food course, we had a Prawn Fritter with Wonton Strips.  The wonton strips were very crunchy, and the minced prawn ball had a bouncy texture.  Situated in the center was a delicately placed pieces of umeboshi which added another flavor dimension to the fritter!

 For the sushi course, the sushi was definitely not what we expected!  What were these mysteriously wrapped items on our plates?

 The first piece of sushi was a Botan Ebi Sushi wrapped in Soybean Paper.   The botan ebi was tender and succulent, and soybean paper was much softer in texture compared to the usual crispy nori.

 For the Salmon Lettuce Roll, a slice of seared salmon belly was wrapped in butter lettuce along with some sushi rice.  The salmon belly was incredibly luscious, and the butter lettuce and sushi rice balanced out the greasiness of the salmon!  The butter lettuce was an ideal choice as it had a crispy texture without being overly crunchy like iceberg or romaine.

 The rice course had a whimsical presentation, where the rice was wrapped like a tiny parcel and the garnish was plated next to it.

 The Shrimp Broth Sticky Rice Parcel with Crab Roe Paste was a flavor bomb! Each of the separate components (shrimp broth and crab roe paste) were umami providers on their own and consumed together, the umami factor was amplified!  The sticky rice was definitely delectable, and the pungent flavors of the shrimp broth and crab roe paste kept echoing in my mouth!

 For the dessert course, the Yuzu Jello had to be eaten while sipping on the Kyoho Grape Spritzer.  On its own, the yuzu jello had a slight bitter flavor, but if you take a sip of the grape spritzer, the sweetness of the Kyoho Grapes counters the bitterness!
I'm usually not a big fan of fusion cuisine because so many chefs try too hard to combine elements that do not go together!  At UO n though, I enjoyed the whimsical omakase dinner, where there were many surprises while the food remained absolutely delicious!
