Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of hearing those three magical words, “Let’s get omakase.” Don’t get me wrong, physical touch and words of affirmation are great, but I’d trade a goodbye kiss or “I’m so proud of you” for exotic toro flown in from Japan any day.
With a new omakase haunt opening on every street corner, the search for the perfect prix-fixe can be more daunting than the Row Sample Sale — I can attest from personal experience and have the last zipped boot to prove it.
At Fluent, our goal is to make our readers lives as easy as possible. Because let’s face it, we (myself very much included) are lazy AF. In light of this, I’ve created the Fluent Guide to Omakase: the all-encompassing encyclopedia to portioned-out raw fish.
Whether you’re looking to ball on a budget or are in the mood to blow half of your month’s rent on uni and caviar, the below has a little something for everyone — even vegetarians.
