📍 Taneda Omakase | Seattle

Just experienced Seattle's most sought-after omakase — and it was worth every bit of the hype! ✨ Here’s why this winter menu left me completely mesmerized: 🍱 A Seasonal Journey Through Japan From the delicate snow crab opening to the rich ankimo (monkfish liver) and crispy anko tempura, each dish was a celebration of winter’s finest. The sushi parade that followed was nothing short of spectacular: Saba, sayori, ika, shima aji — fresh, elegant, clean 🐟 Toro & akami — melt-in-your-mouth perfection Uni & botan ebi — sweet, creamy, dreamy 🍤 Anago — a silky, warm finish to the sushi series 🍳 Exquisite Interludes Between sushi courses came surprises like: Golden eye snapper tempura 🌟 Smoked Wagyu with mesmerizing presentation 🥩💨 Mini salmon poke ikura bowl 🥢 Lotus root sandwich & black cod miso — cozy and flavorful And finally, the iconic tamagoyaki and hojicha crème brûlée — a sweet, memorable ending 🍮 👨🍳 The Chef Behind the Counter What made the night even more special? The chef was warm, engaging, and full of stories — and yes, he even browsed during the meal! 📱❤️ When we mentioned our trip to Japan, he pulled out his phone to recommend his friend’s shop next to Tsukiji Market… and a Xiaohongshu post about New York bubble tea popped up! We all laughed — even top-tier sushi masters scroll food recs like the rest of us 🥤👀 🌟 Verdict An unforgettable 2.5-hour culinary performance — refined, personal, and deeply satisfying. No wonder seats disappear in minutes each month! 🏷️ #TanedaSeattle #OmakaseExperience #SeattleFoodie #WinterMenu #SushiLovers #ChefStories #XiaohongshuInTheWild #FineDining #SeattleEats
