Omakase: chef’s choice in Japanese cuisine
I had my first ever omakase experience. Sushi chefs will pick the freshest variety of seafood and present them to you using different methods of cooking. My favorites had to be a tuna sashimi drizzled with homemade ponzu sauce. And although I don’t really like red snapper, the cut I ate was extremely fresh and tender.
Buyer beware: you need to tell them to stop serving or else the dishes will keep on coming, each more exotic (and expensive) than the last. I made it to the shellfish platter level of clams, mussels, and oysters.
Fun fact: Omakase means “I’ll leave it up to you.”
