Question
I’m in Japan for a food tour and just learned about the concept of “omakase” at sushi restaurants. I’m excited to try it but I’m not sure how to order it. How do I say “Can I have omakase?” in Japanese?

Omakase o onegaishimasu.
Can I have omakase?
Omakase is a dining style where you leave it up to the chef to serve you what they think is best. It translates to “I leave it up to you” in English. The phrase “Omakase o onegaishimasu” uses “onegaishimasu,” which is a polite way to request something in Japanese.
If you are adventurous and want a unique dining experience, trying omakase at a sushi restaurant can be a delightful way to enjoy expertly crafted sushi that you might not think to order on your own. Enjoy your culinary adventure in Japan!
