OMAKASE SUSHI EXPERINCE Featuring: Supplemental 15-day dry-aged CANADIAN Bluefin Tuna Tasting​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​Chef Darren MacLean recently had the pleasure of butchering not one, but two single line caught tuna from Canada's East Coast. These two tunas weighed a combined 900lbs!!!

The most wonderful thing about such large and fresh tuna is that in addition to the lean akami, cuts we are also blessed with ample amounts of premium rare and fatty cuts like Otoro, Chu Toro, and Kama-Toro that we can dry age in our chamber for up to 15 days!

The supplemental Bluefin Tuna Tasting includes:
3 incredible nigiri including chu-toro (medium fatty), otoro (ultra-fatty) and chopped negi toro tuna.

CHEF DARREN MACLEAN ANNOUNCES NUPO TO OPEN JANUARY 15, 2020

Innovative fish and plant-based Japanese restaurant, bar and omakase sushi experience with Canada’s first dry-aging chamber for fish.

NUPO features healthy, sustainable fish and plant-based dining, tea-centric cocktails and exclusive sakes.

Canada’s latest and highly anticipated night-time spot for food and drinks, Chef Darren MacLean’s NUPO opens January 15, 2020 in Calgary’s East Village.

NUPO at first glance is most distinct for its predominantly vegetarian fare. Menu highlights include fresh-daily, house-made tofu as well as a vegan “tonkotsu” ramen. One premium meat dish is offered daily. In addition, NUPO expands on its clean-eating focus by serving healthy and innovative sushi and fish dishes.

“Expect immaculate, fresh imported sushi and exciting aged sushi fish on house-made black shari sushi rice,” says MacLean. “Our large-format seared fish dishes are enhanced by dry-aging achieved using NUPO’s unique, custom-built chamber. An exciting first in Canada.”

Effective immediately, MacLean announces the appointment of his Chef du Cuisine Mitsuru Hara, formerly of Tokyo’s Michelin 3-Star restaurant Azurmendi.

NUPO’s minimalist design, lighting and décor by Connie Young Design brings MacLean’s vision to life.

“We wanted to showcase the clean lines and subtilty of traditional Japanese aesthetic while highlighting the landscape and natural resources of quintessential Alberta,” says MacLean. “By design, the room mirrors the natural ingredients and food philosophy of NUPO.”

Some of NUPO’s many, yet understated, interior design elements include natural birch wood and shale. These complement striking golden koi fish wallcoverings that meet such dark textured surfaces as:


  • Shou Sugi Ban (a Japanese technique of charring wood for aesthetic appeal) wall panels

  • woven leather seating

  • exposed concrete ceilings
  • Videos (show all)
