12th February 2010, 9:50am

WABI, a new Japanese restaurant concept is launching in May 2010 offering contemporary Japanese cuisine from chef Scott Hallsworth, formerly of Nobu.

Situated in Horsham, the restaurant features a cocktail bar and a aquarium, which is believed to be the largest of its kind in the UK. It houses bio-diverse species such as jellyfish with state of the art design and display holding more than 2000 liters of salt water.

Australian chef Scott spent six years at Nobu London, working his way up from Chef de Partie to Head Chef, before launching the Nobu Melbourne site in 2007. More recently Scott was Executive chef at the Mirai Restaurant Group in Dubai and Bahrain.

He said: "Our goal at WABI is to extend our years of passion and creativity to our guests. We will always continue to search for new and exciting ingredients and ideas and believe it is equally important for both guest and staff to constantly improve and evolve."
