An omakase moves in courses, and so should the drink beside it. Yuzu Omakase has introduced a new beverage pairing at its Siam Square counter in Bangkok, a sequence of pours chosen to follow the meal rather than sit apart from it. The pairing arrives in three forms: a House Pairing that crosses sake, whisky, and plum liqueur, a Japanese Whisky Pairing built on aged single malts and a vintage blend, and a House Infusions flight for guests who prefer to stay alcohol free. Each is poured to match the rhythm of the kitchen, glass to course, from the opening bites to the final sweet note.

The idea is simple. True luxury is in the order of things, in what arrives when, and in how one taste prepares the mouth for the next. Yuzu treats the drink list the way it treats the fish, as a seasonal decision made for the guest in the seat, not a fixed card read from a shelf.

The House Pairing (Five Glasses, 2,500 THB)

The House Pairing is the broadest of the three, five glasses that travel across sake, whisky, and a plum liqueur as the courses change in weight and temperature. It is the pairing for a guest who wants range across a single meal.

The flight opens with Ozeki Ginkan Daiginjo (銀冠大関), a daiginjo grade sake from one of Japan's long established breweries, polished and clean for the lighter first courses. It moves to Born Dreams Come True Junmai Daiginjo (夢は正夢), a junmai daiginjo from Fukui whose name translates as dreams come true, a fuller and more aromatic pour for the richer fish. Midway, the pairing turns to Hibiki Harmony (響), a blended Japanese whisky from Suntory, served to bridge the meal's warmer, fattier moments. Suntory Yamazaki Plum Liqueur (山崎梅酒), an umeshu carrying notes from Yamazaki cask work, brings a measured sweetness as the savoury courses settle. The flight closes with an Amphora-aged Sake (アンフォラ), matured in clay rather than steel or wood, a quiet and textured finish that rounds the sequence.

Read together, the five glasses are a study in contrast held in balance: dry to aromatic, clear spirit to soft sweetness, steel to clay. The House Pairing is priced at 2,500 THB.

The Japanese Whisky Pairing (Three Glasses, 9,000 THB)

For guests who want depth over breadth, the Japanese Whisky Pairing is three glasses of aged Suntory whisky, poured to sit alongside the meal's most concentrated flavours. This is the pairing for the unhurried evening.

It opens with Hakushu 18 Years (白州 18年), the lightly wooded, green edged single malt from Suntory's forest distillery. It continues with Yamazaki 18 Years (山崎 18年), the deeper, sherry influenced single malt that built Suntory's reputation abroad. It closes with Hibiki 21 Years (響 21年), an aged blend that has been recognised among the most awarded Japanese whiskies of its class. Three pours, each older and more layered than the last, read as a short history of Japanese whisky in a single sitting. The Japanese Whisky Pairing is priced at 9,000 THB.

The House Infusions (Five Glasses, Non-Alcoholic, 1,200 THB)

An omakase should reward every guest at the counter, not only the ones drinking. The House Infusions flight is five house made, non-alcoholic pours brewed in the Yuzu kitchen and paired across the meal, drawn from tea, botanicals, and seasonal fruit. Each glass is built to do the work a wine or sake would do, to cleanse, to lift, to echo a course, so the experience stays whole for anyone who prefers to stay alcohol free. The House Infusions flight is priced at 1,200 THB.
