Shin Sato
A Japanese chef in the Karst
Camut is a Japanese restaurant in Slovenia’s Karst region, in which Sato Bento and chef Shin Sato work their magic every weekend. The chef, who is also an artist – which is reflected on the walls and the plates – prepares what he has available for the day (and what he has bought at the fish market in Trieste), and what is directed by tradition and enables creativity. This isn’t fast food, it isn’t copious amounts of food, you aren’t bored while you wait, and at the end you don’t regret a thing. Omakase also means the best for the lowest price, and that is certainly the case at Camut.
This is food with a soul, because it takes so long, because its from a wooden crate, because the chef doesn’t show any emotion from behind the hatch window, albeit emotions come through it due to the wines with a soul and because now, when we don’t know where to go, now we have Kazlje, because we never know what chef Shin Sato will cook for us today.

Recommendation
In the Karst bura winds, the Japanese phrase ‘omakase’, which means ‘I’ll leave it up to you’, is an adventure in itself! The first challenge is to find the small village of Kazlje, then the next is to find Camut in Kazlje … Once you find it, you’ll find that everything is as it should be in the village hall: an old sofa for the tired, toys for children, a serving hatch for the chef, orange wine for the trendy, and a translator for the ‘secretive’ menu.
