Understanding Japanese Omakase

Omakase means entrusting the meal to the chef. It is less a menu than a relationship between cook and guest.

Seasonality first

The chef builds the meal around what is best that day, often fish flown in within hours.

Pace and progression

Dishes move from light to rich, each one designed to set up the next bite.

An intimate home omakase on Potluck is one of the most memorable meals you can book.
