The Michelin-Starred Omakase That's A Surprise, Even for Its Chef - Omakase

  • For sushi obsessives, few words incite the level of glorious anticipation as omakase. Short for “omakase shimasu,” the phrase translates into trusting one’s fate in another’s hands, and has come to refer to the Japanese tradition of letting the chef decide what you’ll be eating.
    The first episode of Eater’s new series Omakase treks to high-end sushi bar Cagen in NYC’s East Village, where the menu isn’t decided until the day’s seafood deliveries arrive.
    Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more - it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

    I think this is the most beautiful, perfect food prep video I've ever seen. Such a master should be considered as creating not just food, but art with food. It was just magical to watch. Great choice of background music as well.

      Which is why it's classed as a Michelin starred restaurant. Definitely on a different echelon of appreciating food altogether.

      Wouldn't it be amazing to see art in the making, just gaze at it for awhile then eat perfection? Ahhhhh what a lovely thought. I wonder if my somewhat adventurous tastebuds would be up to the challenge?

    I had the pleasure of eating at Cagen a while ago with my family. Absolutely astounding experience. The cards in the video are the ones that he showed us before each course, and it was such a pleasure watching a master chef prepare everything right in front of us. I was dreaming of fish for days afterwards. I highly recommend Cagen for anyone in the area!

    Where i live, the sushi restaurants are run by mexicans, vietnamese, pilipino, etc. The chef are young and they don't know real japanese quality sushi. They focus only on sushi roll and make it look pretty that's about it. I wish i can go to real authentic japanese sushi shops.
