When I decided to have sushi for breakfast at the Tsukiji Fish Market, I ordered omakase. This basically means that the chef prepares what he wants to prepare at the price he sets. This is a picture of the menu outside the restaurant I decided on, which I chose because I liked the way it looked. Lucky for me it was very good, even though most of the items were new to me and it was a gamble. 3600 yen is about $34 USD, if you’re wondering. Tokyo, Japan. August 2008.
I am leaving a comment for myself to note the occasion. I just realized I can read the hiragana for omakase in the picture after a month of Japanese language class.
That is pretty cool.
