What Is Omakase?
Omakase, which translates to “respectfully leaving another to decide what is best” in Japanese, refers to a meticulously crafted dinner curated by a head sushi chef. There are countless reasons that make omakase a superior dining experience.
Unlike less personal restaurants, customers can sit at the sushi bar and interact directly with the sushi chef. Observing the head chef and his or her many years of training is a memorable spectacle in itself. The smooth knife skills, rice shaping, and the precise blow torch technique all contribute to a majestic cooking performance. The stories and recommendations that the chefs may share with you also add to the intimate dining experience.
