In the heart of Siam Square, surrounded by Bangkok’s contemporary pulse, one restaurant quietly sets a new benchmark for sushi in Thailand. Yuzu Omakase isn’t just another Japanese dining destination — it’s an immersive expression of Edomae heritage, executed with precision and inspired by innovation.

While the city’s culinary landscape overflows with sushi offerings, Yuzu Omakase is reserved for those who seek something deeper: a place where every cut, flame, and brushstroke tells a story; where the soul of Japan meets the spirit of modern Bangkok.

This is not just omakase — this is culinary craftsmanship in its most refined form.

🧭 Rooted in Edomae: A Tradition of Purity and Discipline

The sushi served at Yuzu Omakase is built on the foundation of Edomae sushi, a tradition from Tokyo's Edo period that emphasizes:

Seasonality

Precision

Respect for the ocean’s gifts

Each course showcases techniques passed down through generations, including:

Shime (vinegar curing)

Zuke (soy marination)

Aging and resting of fish to unlock umami

Precise rice preparation with red vinegar and body-temperature shaping

Yuzu's chefs — many trained in Japan — use these timeless practices to honor ingredients before introducing contemporary enhancements. The result is authenticity without rigidity — a respectful evolution of Japanese sushi, not a reinvention.

🍣 The Ingredient Philosophy: Uncompromising Purity

Sourcing is at the heart of Yuzu’s excellence. Ingredients are selected for flavor, integrity, and seasonal perfection — often arriving in Bangkok within 24 hours of being auctioned at Toyosu Market in Tokyo.

🐟 Key Imports & Their Significance:

Ingredient	Region	Why It Matters
Otoro (Fatty Tuna Belly)	Toyosu, Tokyo	Rich in omega-3, perfectly marbled and hand-cut to melt on the tongue
Nodoguro (Blackthroat Seaperch)	Kyushu	Prized for its deep oceanic fat, ideal for aburi torching
Shiro Ebi (White Shrimp)	Toyama Bay	Delicate, sweet, and translucent — a rare seasonal delicacy
Uni (Bafun Sea Urchin)	Hokkaido	Creamy and briny, sustainably sourced from cold waters
A5 Kagoshima Wagyu	Kagoshima Prefecture	Served nigiri-style, lightly seared for maximum flavor expression

Even the wasabi is fresh and hand-grated, the soy sauce aged and blended in-house, and the rice polished to exact specifications before seasoning with traditional red vinegar.

At Yuzu, luxury is not about extravagance—it’s about clarity, purity, and precision.

🔪 Craftsmanship: The Quiet Power of Technique

From the first slice to the final plating, the artistry at Yuzu Omakase is deliberate and deeply skilled.

🔹 What Defines the Yuzu Craft:

Knife work tailored to the structure of each fish, enhancing texture and flavor

Rice shaping with minimal pressure, ensuring ideal grain separation

Real-time service, where each piece is served at its optimal temperature and timing

Aesthetic minimalism, where even garnish is strategic, not decorative

Guests seated at the counter witness this quiet choreography — where every motion, however small, serves a purpose. There is no guesswork. Only mastery.

💡 Innovation with Intention: Tradition Enhanced

At Yuzu, innovation is never about gimmicks. It is about refinement, emotional pacing, and enhancing purity without overpowering it.

✨ Modern Techniques That Elevate, Not Distract:

Truffle soy foam

A light aromatic layer over wagyu nigiri, delivering umami with elegance

Microgreens and edible florals

Used sparingly for texture and botanical complexity

Non-alcoholic pairing options

Cold-pressed tea infusions and kombu broths to match umami tone-for-tone

This is not fusion. It’s flavor harmony—a conversation between Japanese heritage and Thai sophistication.

🥢 Signature Courses That Tell the Story

Each omakase journey is tailored to the day’s ingredients and the guest’s profile. A typical experience may include:

Course	What Makes It Exceptional
Zensai (Appetizer)	Seasonal bite designed to awaken the palate, such as Hokkaido crab with vinegar jelly
Akami Zuke Nigiri	Soy-marinated lean tuna, enhanced with house-aged tare and fresh wasabi
Otoro Nigiri with Oscietra Caviar	A luxurious pairing of richness and brine, executed with precision
Nodoguro Aburi	Charcoal-seared at the counter, releasing oils just seconds before serving
Uni Gunkan with Yuzu Zest	Balanced, vibrant, and creamy — a study in taste and temperature
A5 Wagyu Nigiri with Truffle Foam	A masterclass in texture and modern indulgence
Seasonal Fruit Sorbet	A delicate, cleansing finale echoing the Japanese appreciation for transience and seasonality

Each dish flows into the next, creating a narrative that is emotional as well as sensory.
