Living up to its given name: OMAKASE! :)


Omakase (お任) is equivalent to the phrase "I'll leave it to you" in Japanese. Its a common expression used in Sushi Restaurants wherein you leave the food selection and cooking to the Chef. With Omakase, the chef will present a series of plates, from the lightest fare to the heaviest most richest dish. This phrase is not limited to raw wish with rice, this can also be used with grilling and shimmering. [info fromWIKI]

Upon learning the meaning of this catchphrase, though am not expecting the phrase exact meaning to come alive -- I decided to bring my family to this Japanese Restaurant named Omakase for December's New Year's Eve Dinner. 

Omakase Restaurant here in Manila did not fail to live to its phrase meaning. They served an oh-soo-yummy Japanese selection in dish rates that are affordable to pocket. ALSO, they were amongst the few Restaurants that were open on New Year's Eve - Arigatou gozaimasu!

Here are some of the dishes that knocked our tummy's out this New Year:

Ebi TEMPURA at P450 -- California MAKI at 160 -- Seafood DUMPLING (YUM!) at P160

Baked OYSTERS at P270 -- Pork TONKATSU at 150 -- Beef TEPPAN at P335


Omakase has 5 branches around the Metro: Libis, Alabang, Morato, Greenhills and Makati.

I've tried their Morato, Il Terrazzo branch and the service is good, also the Greenhills Set up is really inviting.

Happy Tummy! :)
