Omakase: (in a Japanese restaurant) a type of meal consisting of dishes selected by the chef.
The fun thing about Omakase is that you do not know what food you are going to have, so just relax and wait for the excitement that is going to enter your palate.

The entrance is not very attractive, so do keep a lookout for it.
Other than food menu, they have Sake menu too
Since this place is famous for their Omakase, we decided to go with Omakase Matsu

The dipping sauce is interesting!! After the assistant introduced the food, she passed us the green herb on top of it to smell before hitting it with her palms and pull it into the soy sauce together with the chrysanthemum petals, adding a little surprise to a normal sashimi soy sauce

All in all, there is NO one dish that I do not like. I LOVE THEM ALL!! The quality of the food is fantastic.
However, do note that this is a sall cosy intimate restaurant which can sit approximately 10 seatings.
So do call and book reservation early.
