It means “I’ll leave it up to you” in Japanese, and its root is the verb “to entrust”.
Yesterday was my first timing ordering omakase style at a Japanese restaurant. I gave the chef full control over the meal, and was not disappointed.
There was a cascade of fresh sashimi and perfectly plated sushi. Each mouthful was different, and it was likely the most flavours I’d tasted in a single meal.
Sometimes the best experiences happen when we forego control and just enjoy the ride.
