What Is Omakase? Discover the Art Behind Japan’s Most Luxurious Dining Experience

Updated: Mar 21

If you're seeking a dining experience that goes far beyond ordering off a menu, Omakase might just be the culinary journey you didn’t know you were missing. Derived from the Japanese phrase meaning "I leave it up to you," omakase dining is an immersive, chef-led experience—an elegant dance between trust, creativity, and precision.


At Sora Omakase, located inside the iconic Parkwest Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, California, we elevate this traditional Japanese experience into an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.


🎌 The Meaning Behind “Omakase”

Omakase is more than just a meal—it’s a philosophy. When you choose omakase, you place your trust entirely in the hands of the chef, who curates a multi-course tasting menu based on the freshest, seasonal ingredients available that day.

Each bite is thoughtfully prepared in front of you, allowing you to witness the artistry and passion that goes into every dish. No two omakase experiences are the same—every seating is a reflection of the moment, the season, and the chef's vision.
