In recent years, Thailand’s culinary scene has embraced a profound and elegant tradition from Japan: Omakase. More than just a dining trend, omakase in Thailand has transformed into a cultural experience—an intimate exchange between chef and guest, where each bite is a revelation. At the forefront of this transformation stands Yuzu Omakase, a benchmark in precision, artistry, and premium Japanese gastronomy.

Nestled in the heart of Bangkok at 258/9-10 Siam Square Soi 3, 2F Pathumwan, Yuzu Omakase has quickly become a destination for those seeking the finest expression of Japanese omakase in Thailand. With a commitment to seasonal ingredients, traditional techniques, and culinary innovation, Yuzu is more than a restaurant—it is an experience of flavor, craftsmanship, and trust.

Omakase in Thailand: A Rising Culinary Movement

The word omakase (お任せ) means “I leave it up to you.” In the context of dining, it refers to entrusting the chef to select and prepare a personalized tasting menu. This concept, deeply rooted in Japanese hospitality and culinary philosophy, has taken root in Thailand over the past decade—evolving from niche offering to a sought-after fine dining experience.

✦ How Thailand Embraced Omakase

What began with a few elite Japanese restaurants in Bangkok has blossomed into a movement. Thai diners—known for their appreciation of nuanced flavors and elevated presentation—have wholeheartedly welcomed the omakase experience. As more restaurants adopted the format, Bangkok became a hotspot for sushi connoisseurs and gastronomes eager to explore the refined rituals of omakase dining.

Today, Thailand’s omakase scene is not only thriving—it is innovating. But among the growing list of establishments, few deliver with the consistency, precision, and artistry of Yuzu Omakase.

Yuzu Omakase: Pioneering the Omakase Experience in Bangkok

Founded with a vision to elevate traditional Japanese dining, Yuzu Omakase has established itself as a premier destination for those seeking an authentic, chef-driven experience in the heart of Bangkok.

What makes Yuzu Omakase truly exceptional?

✦ Culinary Expertise Rooted in Japan

At Yuzu Omakase, each chef has undergone rigorous training in top kitchens across Tokyo and Hokkaido. Their hands are not only skilled but deeply knowledgeable—honoring centuries of Japanese culinary heritage while embracing a modern, Bangkok-based identity.

✦ Sourcing Excellence

We source directly from Japan’s legendary Toyosu Market, as well as renowned seafood regions such as Hokkaido, Aomori, and Kyushu. Ingredients like bluefin tuna from Oma, Bafun uni, live hamaguri clams, and Kagoshima A5 Wagyu are hand-selected for quality, freshness, and seasonal perfection.

✦ A Menu That Evolves with the Seasons

Our omakase offerings—Yuzu Signature, Yuzu Premium, and Yuzu Ultimate—change regularly to reflect the best of each season. This ensures not only the freshest ingredients but also a dynamic culinary journey for returning guests.

A Culinary Performance at the Counter

Dining at Yuzu Omakase is like attending a live performance—each dish composed before your eyes with meticulous detail. The intimacy of the counter dining setup allows guests to connect directly with the chef, observe delicate techniques, and savor sushi at the exact moment it reaches optimal temperature and flavor.

Every bite is an expression of artistry and ingredient integrity.

The Balance of Tradition and Innovation

Yuzu Omakase respects the traditional Edomae sushi approach—where fish is aged, cured, or lightly marinated to enhance umami. But we also experiment with modern techniques such as:

Sous-vide aging for texture control

Custom-blended sushi rice vinegars

Scented smoke domes for grilled dishes

Truffle soy infusions for wagyu pairings

This blend of heritage and creativity allows us to redefine what omakase means in Thailand—bridging Japanese purity with Bangkok’s adventurous palate.

Inside Yuzu Omakase: A Luxury Dining Space

The ambiance at Yuzu Omakase is purposefully understated. The minimalist design—clean lines, light wood, soft lighting, and neutral tones—invites focus, mindfulness, and appreciation for detail.

With limited counter seating and private dining options, we ensure exclusivity and personalized attention. Every guest enjoys front-row access to the chef's craft, along with warm, attentive service that enhances the overall journey.

The Role of Seasonality in Omakase Thailand

In traditional Japanese cuisine, shun (旬) refers to the peak season of an ingredient—when it's at its most flavorful, nutritious, and visually appealing. At Yuzu Omakase, we fully embrace this principle, offering dishes that shift throughout the year.

✦ Seasonal Features Throughout the Year:

Spring

White shrimp, Sakura sea bream, bamboo shoots

Summer

Ayu (sweetfish), fresh kampachi, cold dashi starters

Autumn

Sanma (Pacific saury), matsutake mushrooms, chestnut miso

Winter

Fugu (pufferfish), creamy toro, monkfish liver (ankimo)

Each season brings a unique atmosphere to the menu—a reason to return and rediscover the journey.
