Omakase is a special word to me. So special that it almost entices me into a dream state of Japanese food. Meaning to entrust, omakase is in simplest terms, allowing the sushi chef to build a custom meal. And while this could become a catch phrase with sushi chefs who end up offering one fixed menu for every diner and labeling it as omakase, it’s about finding an itamae with the skill to build the experience toward your tastes. After all, how can you entrust a complete stranger if they have no idea what you want to eat. Ask questions. Get boundaries. Understand the palate. It’s amazing how much information a well tuned sushi chef can get from his diners by just interacting.
