Exclusive Omakase In Ho Chi Minh City: Yuzu’s New Summer Menu 2025

Omakase in Ho Chi Minh City takes on new meaning at Yuzu, where summer isn’t counted in days, but felt through taste, scent, and memory. This year, that feeling becomes an omakase experience: Scent of Summer — our gentle invitation to enter the season through a sensory journey where delicacy, transience, and movement come together to tell the story of summer, the Yuzu way.

The Taste of Impermanence

Inspired by Japan’s coastal bounty and Vietnam’s soulful warmth, Yuzu’s Summer Menu 2025 is a multi-layered symphony of sensations. This seasonal journey brings you moments where the flickering heat of a seared Hotate is softened by a delicate clam broth that lingers gently on the palate—only to be lifted moments later by the citrus brightness of the “Yuzu not Yuzu” dessert. It’s a culinary narrative crafted with care, one that moves between contrast and harmony.

Summer, like a great omakase, is an experience best savored in layers. From cooling lightness to deep umami, from softness to intensity, each dish is shaped through temperature, texture, and restraint—revealing the art of storytelling through food. This is more than a tasting menu; it is a seasonal philosophy brought to life through flavor, ambiance, and emotion. And for those seeking a truly immersive culinary journey, there’s no better way to experience it than with omakase in Ho Chi Minh City.

Four Menus. Four Ways to Feel Summer.

Summer never stays in stillness—its essence shifts, moves, and evolves. At Yuzu Omakase, that spirit is captured through four thoughtfully crafted menus: The Rhythm, The Moment, The Journey, and The One. Each menu reflects a different expression of the season, where every ingredient is handpicked with intention, and every dish is a deliberate step in a sensory journey meant to be remembered. This isn’t just seasonal dining—it’s a poetic experience of omakase in Ho Chi Minh City.

1. The Rhythm – A Harmonious Prelude to Omakase in Ho Chi Minh City

The gentle beginning. This is where the journey quietly unfolds—where textures are clean, flavors are subtle, and even the silence between courses carries meaning. It’s a delicate introduction that invites presence and attentiveness, encouraging you to slow down and tune into the rhythm of the season. Each dish is composed with restraint, allowing simplicity to shine and anticipation to build. This gentle welcome sets the tempo for what’s to come—an elegant and thoughtful start to a refined omakase in Ho Chi Minh City.

2. The Moment – A Bold Bloom of Flavor in Omakase in Ho Chi Minh City

The bloom—where the season reaches its boldest expression. This is the heart of summer, where ingredients are at their absolute peak, and the sensory experience becomes more vivid, more immediate. Here, intensity isn’t achieved through excess, but through exacting precision. Every course is crafted to highlight contrast and harmony. In The Moment menu, Truffle meets Uni in an unexpected dialogue of earthiness and ocean brine. Otoro melts into Iberico, creating a balance of richness and depth that feels indulgent yet weightless. Each dish bursts with energy, yet never overwhelms. It’s not just a meal—it’s the season in full bloom, captured in motion. A celebration of life, flavor, and finesse that defines what it means to experience omakase in Ho Chi Minh City.

3. The Journey – A Flavorful Exploration of Omakase in Ho Chi Minh City

The intention seeker. This is a journey designed for those who find meaning in detail and beauty in restraint. With 23 thoughtfully curated courses, this extended omakase experience takes you through a landscape of textures, temperatures, and sensations. You’ll begin with the cool yet sweet Awabi Somen—delicate and refreshing—before arriving at the luxurious Bafun Uni Toast, topped with premium uni, shaved truffle, and shimmering gold leaf. As the narrative deepens, the Misuji Wagyu is presented like Mount Fuji on a stone, evoking both power and elegance. Every element on the menu reflects care, finesse, and understated indulgence. This is not just a tasting—it’s a meditative, multi-sensory journey meant to be remembered. A refined and unforgettable omakase in Ho Chi Minh City.

4. The One - When Timing Becomes Meaning (coming soon)

Unlike other menus, The One has no fixed schedule. It cannot be planned—it must be felt. This elusive menu appears only when everything aligns: when ingredients are at their absolute prime, when the story finds its purest form, and when the chef’s inspiration is undeniably present. It is born from instinct, timing, and a deep respect for the fleeting nature of perfection. No two iterations are ever quite the same, and that’s exactly the point. The One is an offering of intuition and artistry—a rare, intimate expression of omakase in Ho Chi Minh City that unfolds only when the moment is truly right.

Mark the date where a final whisper before the season moves on:

• Amadai Palette - the "king of white fish," known for its silk-like texture and crystalline sweetness.
• Wagyu Misuji with 23-year-aged caviar - layering depth upon depth of umami.
• Chiayu, once again, as a final ode to summer - crisp, delicate, and quietly unforgettable.
