Trying to identify all of the Omakase I ate

4 comments

1. I can identify more than half but some of the lighter fishes are throwing me. I’m trying to tell by the garnish.

   Wherever you went, this place looks legit and phenomenal.

2. Out of 12 I have guesses for 7.

   First picture clockwise from top: amaebi (raw sweet shrimp), maguro (lean tuna), I don’t know, ika (squid), I don’t know, hotate (scallop).

   Second picture clockwise from top: I don’t know, chutoro (medium fatty tuna) maybe, I don’t know, I don’t know, sake (salmon), saba (mackerel) maybe

3. Wow looks amazing! Maybe next time, you can ask the chef about each piece! I bet they would love to tell you ☺️ Whenever I go to Omakase my chef tells each person exactly what type of fish, where it was caught, and any other ingredients he added when he hands it to you. A big part of enjoying omakase is the intimacy with the chef so don’t be shy to ask questions!

4. What makes this “Omakase”, & not just a bunch of nigiri?
