FOR THE UNFAMILIAR, OMAKASE IS A TRADITIONALLY INTIMATE DINING EXPERIENCE WHERE WHAT YOU EAT IS DECIDED FOR YOU BY THE CHEF. THE JAPANESE WORD TRANSLATES TO \"I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU.\" CONVENTIONALLY, THE ELABORATE MULTI-COURSE MEAL IS ALL ABOUT SHOWCASING QUALITY INGREDIENTS. SUSHI IS ITS USUAL EXPRESSION, BUT THE CURATED MEAL HAS SINCE SEEN THE INTRODUCTION OF OTHER TYPES OF FOOD. IN THIS STORY, WE EXPLORE THE FORMAT OF OMAKASE ACROSS THREE CONTEMPORARY RESTAURANTS: IN ITS TRADITIONAL MANNER WITH KAPPO-STYLE KAISEKI, A YAKITORI-CENTRED EXPERIENCE, AND A TEMPURA SHOWCASE
