99 Sushi Bar Marks a New Chapter with a Dessert Collaboration

There is a particular grace in the meeting of two culinary minds, each bringing their own sensibility to a single creation. At 99 Sushi Bar’s new Abu Dhabi location, such a moment finds its expression in an unexpected marriage of sushi bar sophistication and dessert artistry.

The restaurant has partnered with BasK to create an exclusive cheesecake, a collaboration that speaks to the growing appetite among Abu Dhabi’s most discerning diners for surprising flavour combinations and considered craftsmanship. What emerges is something that transcends the ordinary dessert course: a composition that marries the richness of cheesecake with the delicate brine and lustre of Kaluga caviar, finished with yuzu ice cream that brings a whisper of Japanese citrus brightness to the plate.

A Considered Addition

The new establishment represents an expansion of the 99 Sushi Bar experience beyond its existing location in Dubai Creek Harbour. Abu Dhabi residents and visitors will now find the restaurant’s careful approach to Japanese cuisine within reach, along with this particular expression of what happens when two kitchens collaborate. The cheesecake stands as an example of how a restaurant might extend its narrative, inviting guests to think differently about the arc of a meal.

The use of Kaluga caviar and yuzu speaks to a kitchen that understands the language of Japanese ingredients and their ability to elevate and reimagine Western classics. This is not merely decoration; it represents a genuine dialogue between traditions, where each element serves a purpose within the whole.

A New Home for Thoughtful Dining

For those who appreciate the precision and care that defines 99 Sushi Bar’s approach to Japanese dining, this Abu Dhabi opening offers an opportunity to experience that same philosophy in a new setting. The arrival of the 99 Cheesecake by BasK suggests a restaurant willing to extend its reach beyond the primary offering, rewarding guests who linger at the table with desserts as considered as the dishes that precede them.

The establishment joins Abu Dhabi’s growing roster of restaurants where quality and intentionality guide every decision, from ingredient selection through to presentation. This new chapter, marked by such a thoughtful collaboration, signals an establishment at ease with its own vision.
