This establishment opened in 2015 and decorated with a Michelin star in 2016 offers to discover sushi made following the traditional technique known as Edomae. At the helm is Chef Jackson Yu who has been practicing this traditional cuisine for nearly 20 years. The fish comes from the Tokyo fish market every day (!). Two menus are served each evening, composed by the chef, who suggests you let yourself be guided in this culinary experience, no à la carte dishes. But you will have understood, everything is gathered to spend an exceptional moment.

The omakase menu, a chef's tasting menu where the chef selects each dish, was a symphony of flavors and textures that danced on my palate. Each course was a work of art, meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients. The sushi, in particular, was a revelation. The fish melted in my mouth, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. The chef's creativity shone through in every bite, as I savored exotic ingredients and unique combinations that I had never experienced before.
The service at Omakase was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the cuisine they were serving. They took the time to explain each dish, its origins, and the techniques used to prepare it. It was evident that they took great pride in their craft.
What truly set Omakase apart was the chef's personal touch. The chef throughout the meal explained the inspiration behind each course and to ensure that we were enjoying our dining experience. This level of interaction made the meal feel like a genuine connection with the chef and added an extra layer of appreciation to the food.
In the end, dining at Omakase in San Francisco was not just a meal; it was a culinary journey, an artful experience, and a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime. If you have the opportunity to dine at Omakase, I highly recommend it. It's not just a restaurant; it's an extraordinary dining adventure that will redefine your expectations of fine cuisine.
