Omakase, meaning "I leave it up to you," is a dining experience curated by the sushi chef. These experiences typically last around two hours.

Our omakase experiences start at $125 per person and can increase depending on the guests' preferences. The starting price usually includes three appetizers and 10-12 pieces of nigiri.

Omakase is served at the sushi bar, where our chefs carefully craft and present each dish one plate at a time.

  • “I knew I loved this spot for their sushi quality, but our second time visiting blew us away. The care for presentation was very impressive and our waiter was so knowledgeable about all the options and cuts of fish. The sake was super tasty as well. Definitely one of my favorite sushi places in Portland.”
