Definition of Omakase
What is Omakase?
Omakase, Japanese word meaning to “leave to someone else,” which diners at Japanese sushi restaurants use to indicate that they are leaving their meal to the chef’s discretion. The term omakase can also refer to such a meal, which usually consists of a series of small servings or courses of sushi offered at a fixed price.
Omakase signals that diners in a sushi restaurant will allow the chef to produce the chef’s own choice of dishes using fresh ingredients in simple artistic presentations.
During omakase preparation, the chef interacts with the diners to create a pleasurable experience. People who choose an omakase meal should be prepared to try unfamiliar preparations during a long and leisurely meal.
Omakase diners often appreciate not needing to make decisions about what to eat.
