First omakase dinner on our last night in Japan. We went on a Thursday night. Everything was delicious and service was great. Chef translated the menu in English via a translation app. Interaction was great. As was the rest of dinner. We’ve done a lunch omakase in the past but this experience was alot more satisfying/rewarding. Perfect way to end our trip.
