Omakase (お任せ o-makase?) is a Japanese phrase that means "I'll leave it to you" (from Japanese "to entrust" (任せる makaseru?)).

Usage[edit]

In American English, the expression is used at sushi restaurants to leave the selection to the chef. It differs from ordering à la carte.[1]The chef will generally present a series of plates, beginning with the lightest fare and proceeding to heaviest, richest dishes.[2] The phrase is not exclusive to service of raw fish with rice, and can incorporate grillingsimmering, or other cooking techniques as well.[3]The term Omakase is not restricted to flesh, nor to sequential degustation banquets. It can be used generally to mean any selection of dishes prepared at the chef's discretion comprising a meal, including strict vegan.[4]

Characteristics[edit]

Customers ordering omakase style expect the chef to be innovative and surprising in the selection of dishes, and the meal can be likened to an artistic performance by the chef.[5] Ordering omakase can be a gamble; however, the customer typically receives the highest-quality fish in stock at a less expensive cost than if it had been ordered à la carte.[6]
