Amami
10 piece omakase for $33. Mine came with (front to back, left to right): kanpachi, red snapper, black snapper, wild salmon toro, shima aji, ocean trout, tuna, wild hamachi, baby lobster, chu-toro, and freshly grated wasabi.
I started with the black snapper. It was delectably sweet, which I didn’t expect. I had the red snapper next and didn’t find anything spectacular about it. The ocean trout was smooth and tasty. I was excited to taste the baby lobster but found it to be chewy. The chu-toro was also nothing spectacular. My favorite was the wild salmon toro. It was buttery and smooth. Overall, the fish was fresh but not all of them were amazing. There were some delicious ones but when I eat omakase, I expect all fish to be highlighted to its true potential. Next time, I would get the chirashi bowl ($18) or 20 piece sashimi ($35) instead. Those had HUGE slices of fish, so it’s definitely worth the price.
