Wine and Dine

Omakase restaurants in Singapore

When you say omakase, or "it's up to you", in a Japanese restaurant, you are, in essence, entrusting the entire dinner experience to the chef.

The chef then deftly crafts a series of courses -- usually comprising sushi, sashimi, grilled and/or simmered dishes -- using the freshest Japanese ingredients he has in store.
