With flavours ferocious yet elegant like a tiger, Omakase Tiger combines high quality seafood with salivating accoutrements that sets it apart from other Japanese course meals. The light rice paper roll with soba and veggies was a light appetizer, lifted with a tangy dragon fruit fermented bean curd sauce. Then you jump straight into the neatly crafted, where the rice is artfully shaped to retain its smaller than average shape, a thoughtful nod to the numerous courses included tonight. The red bigeye was powdered with snow salt, an airy sibling to kosher salt that has an even milder taste. The A5 wagyu simply melted in my mouth, with an aromatic char and distinct beefiness that's elevated with a flavour-packed crab-miso sauce. Pursuing its common theme of taking the jewels of the sea and polishing it with various sauces, the choice of pairing chutoro with blue cheese was daring and bold, reflecting its unique creamy, funky taste that created a new, oddly satisfying but divisive flavour. However, the tried and true combo of fatty otoro and soy sauce is undeniable, further ameliorated by a subtle hint of earthy truffle. Look forward to the unagi hand roll too - a perfectly grilled eel, rendered and fatty with a caramelized char, sweet-savory eel sauce, and crispy burdock root, and a creamy burdock sauce.

An Incredible Omakase Experience - Worth Every Penny!

I had an amazing omakase dinner here that absolutely exceeded my expectations. For the price, the experience and quality were exceptional.

The base course featured 14 exquisite pieces of nigiri, each a masterpiece. I couldn't resist adding the optional oyster from Hyogo, Japan, and I'm so glad I did—it was incredibly sweet, fresh, and one of the best I've ever had.

While every piece was fantastic, my personal highlights were:

The chawanmushi, with salmon which was silky smooth and packed with umami.

The onsen ebi (hot spring shrimp) for its texture and sweet flavor.

The incredibly tender and rich A5 wagyu beef sushi that simply melted in my mouth.

The chef was enthusiastic and engaging, clearly passionate about his craft. His energy, combined with the attentive and helpful staff, made the meal even more enjoyable.

One small tip: the restaurant is kept quite cool to maintain the fish's freshness. For fellow diners, especially ladies, I'd recommend bringing a light jacket. They do offer blankets, but only a handful are available.

Overall, this was a memorable culinary journey. I will undoubtedly be...
