When it comes to sushi, there's an experience that transcends simply ordering off a menu — it’s called Omakase.At Sora Sushi, we invite you to put your trust in the hands of the chef and embark on an unforgettable culinary journey that honors Japanese tradition, seasonality, and artistry.

Omakase is not just a meal; it’s a story told through flavor, crafted one exquisite course at a time.

🎌 What Is Omakase?

In Japanese, "Omakase" (お任せ) translates to "I’ll leave it up to you."Rather than selecting your own dishes, you give the chef full creative freedom to curate a personalized experience based on:

The freshest seasonal ingredients available that day
The chef’s expertise and inspiration
Your preferences or dietary needs (shared before the meal begins)

Every Omakase dinner is unique and ever-changing, allowing you to taste the finest seafood, delicate sashimi, artfully presented nigiri, and surprising specialty bites crafted just for you.

🥢 Omakase is a trust-based experience, a deep cultural tradition where the chef’s skill and intuition shine.

🍣 Why Omakase at Sora Sushi Is Truly Special

At Sora Sushi, our Omakase is a perfect balance of authentic tradition and refined innovation.

✅ Seasonal Selections We source only the highest-quality, freshest seafood — flown in multiple times a week to reflect the seasons. You might enjoy buttery toro (fatty tuna) in the winter, or sweet Hokkaido scallops in the spring.

✅ Chef-Curated Creativity Our chef isn’t just preparing food — he’s creating an artistic, multi-sensory experience. Expect carefully layered textures, temperature contrasts, and perfectly balanced flavor profiles in every bite.

✅ Personalized Touch At the start of your Omakase, we take into account any preferences, allergies, or special requests, ensuring the experience is tailored to you while still showcasing the chef’s vision.

✅ Respect for Tradition Every cut, every preparation method, and every ingredient is handled with the utmost respect for Japanese culinary heritage, ensuring a true and authentic Omakase experience.

🍷 Perfect Pairings: Elevate Your Journey

No Omakase is complete without the perfect drink pairings. At Sora Sushi, we offer a thoughtfully curated beverage menu to complement each course:

🥂 Premium Sake:

Clean, smooth sakes enhance the delicate flavors of fresh fish.
We recommend starting with a light Junmai or Daiginjo sake.

🍺 Japanese Beer:

Crisp, refreshing lagers like Asahi, Sapporo, or Orion pair beautifully with the richness of toro and the brightness of seasonal white fish.

💬 Pro Tip:

Ask your server for a recommended sake pairing designed specifically for the night's Omakase selection — it will elevate your experience even further.
