You die once and live every day ....just DO IT.....18 Course Sushi Omakase was my max but would love to try 22 :) ....don't forget Tsukiji and Toyosu fish market ...the freshness sushi you can find :) ...Thanks for sharing Ms. Dang :)
Is omakase very filling? Or is it just like eating appetizers? There's omakase restaurants near me but i want to make sure that what they'll serve me, what they have, will fill me up. The courses range between 18 - 20 ish.
I would say most omakase are filling for the average person, but since I think I have a slightly bigger appetite, I always tend to order a couple more a la carte items and leave feeling about 70-80% full
Stupid question...is sushi always served with a ball of rice? I've rarely tried sushi and never heard of most of the fish, but eating that much rice would be, shall we say, very challenging for me to control my blood sugar (I use an insulin pump for diabetes). I always enjoy the videos, though.
If you would like to enjoy a nigiri sushi focused omakase, I recommend asking the chef for less rice. Hopeful this is helpful and thank you for watching!
@@jennyfoodtravels I think I'd have to try a few pieces at a local buffet before ever thinking about spending 1/2 (or much more) of a paycheck to eat a bunch of raw fish...PS what does sea urchin roe taste like?
@@garyausten5939don’t go to a buffet for your first experience. It will be terrible; go to a conveyer belt sushi chain if you can find it and try a few plates for a few bucks each; the quality and variety will be much higher and if it’s not to your liking at all you can leave without buying a lot
@@AryzenI A Google search wasn't too helpful....closest revolving sushi restaurants I saw were a state away (IN, WI, MO). Too far just to try something, but there are sushi places in the vicinity I would consider...at least Japanese restaurants that include it on their menus.
Thanks for the video Jenny. 😊 If you don’t mind, but I think you should re-jig the rating system. If the food doesn’t wow you and it’s 3.8, then the overall rating should be low too. And what is it about that guy talking so loudly in the background? It’s no wonder Japanese frown upon loud foreigners
The overall rating might look a bit unfair to a foodie, but it's hard for me to dismiss the service, location, and price rating as well, because I feel like most who travel cares for those points as well. But for those who goes just for the food, then I highly recommend just looking at the food point! Hope this clarifies my system a bit. Thank you so much for your constant support!
"After 18 years of training under the legendary Jiro Ono, Chef Mizukami is now thriving with his own sushi restaurant, Sushi Mizukami. " Incorrect - Chef Takashi Ono (Roppongi). Not Jiro Ono. Mizukami-san is a close friend of mine.
Thank you so much for sharing this clarification! I had heard differently, but it's great to learn the accurate details. It's wonderful that Mizukami-san has such a strong connection with Chef Takashi Ono and you!
@@jennyfoodtravels No problem. It can be confusing. At times, he'll mention the name 'Master Chef Ono' and people naturally associate Jiro Ono with Takashi Ono. It's totally understandable.
Jenny I love your videos! I tend to watch a lot of omakase videos during my free time. I’m a sushi chef and love seeing what others create.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy watching my videos! Thank you for being a sushi chef and bringing joy to others as well!
Thanks!
Another great video!
Thanks for your support!
Another banger!
Thank you so much!
These are my traditional favorites!

How was the Shako Nigiri? i have never seen that. great video as always!
Thank you so much! The shako was tender and slightly firm, with a subtle crunch and a hint of oceanic flavor
Do you know why you got seated with the sous-chef? Which reservation site did you use?
I'm not sure why I was seated with the sous-chef, but I made the reservation on MyConciergeJapan, which was through the restaurant's official website
I’m seeing a different price for lunch set, do you know the difference?
@@chrischeng158 One is for nigiri only and the other is a full omakase with appetizers and extra courses

@@jennyfoodtravels okay. Im a big eater too so i might do that as well. Thanks

Yes sushi by definition includes rice, but you can get sashimi that's just fish (no rice)

$260 (~$10 per piece) for 3.8 for food means he need to back for more training with Chef Jiro. :)
Haha maybe, but I was also served by the sous-chef and not the main chef who trained with Chef Jiro

mizukami is not water god here. It literally means above water
That guy who keeps talking nonstop is so annoying Jesus Christ.
