From the Sushi Counter: A Live Omakase Experience in Siam Square

More than a meal, it is a performance. At Yuzu Omakase Thailand, the sushi counter becomes a stage, and every movement of the chef is a carefully choreographed act of mastery. Welcome to Bangkok’s most refined culinary theater.

Our Creations 2025 May 27

In a world where luxury is increasingly defined by intimacy and authenticity, few dining experiences captivate quite like live omakase. More than just watching your food being prepared, omakase transforms the counter into a culinary stage, where timing, technique, and emotion converge.

At Yuzu Omakase, located discreetly on the second floor of Siam Square Soi 3, this ritual unfolds in quiet perfection. With limited seating and an atmosphere steeped in focus, each course becomes a moment of connection between chef and guest, guided by centuries of Japanese tradition and elevated by Bangkok’s appetite for excellence.

🍣 The Essence of Live Omakase: Art in Motion

The word omakase translates to “I leave it up to you,” but in the hands of a skilled itamae (sushi chef), it also means: “Allow me to tell you a story.”
At Yuzu Omakase, this story is told through:

🥢 The rhythm of slicing — the quiet grace of a katana-sharp knife gliding through otoro

🔥 The sizzle of binchotan flame — searing nodoguro to smoky, buttery perfection

🌿 The subtle scent of yuzu citrus rising from a brushstroke on freshly cut kinmedai

💬 The soft commentary of the chef, sharing the origin of each ingredient, its peak season, and why it was chosen for you

This is not just sushi. This is gastronomic theater — staged in minimalist silence, lit by tradition, and delivered with reverence.

🔪 Behind the Counter: The Performance of Precision

Every seat at Yuzu Omakase faces the Hinoki wood counter, crafted from Japanese cypress for its natural aroma and calming effect. It is here that the performance begins.

What you’ll see (and feel):

Knife techniques honed over decades — slicing with millimeter accuracy to protect fish integrity

Rice sculpting by touch, never pressed too tightly, always at body temperature

Ingredients handled with ritual — from seaweed to soy, every element has its place

Real-time adjustments, where the chef responds to your pace, preferences, and even mood

This live interaction between chef and diner is the soul of omakase. The trust, the timing, the shared appreciation — they cannot be replicated by kitchen service or static menus.

At Yuzu, the live experience is built around Japan’s freshest seasonal seafood, flown in multiple times weekly from Toyosu Market, Hokkaido, and Kyushu.

A glimpse of the performance’s starring roles:

CourseTheatrical Moment
Otoro Nigiri with CaviarThe chef pauses to show the marbling, slices in one deliberate stroke, tops with caviar—served instantly
Shiro Ebi with UniTiny sweet shrimp layered delicately by hand, finished with a whisper of citrus
Aburi NodoguroTorched tableside, releasing a rich aroma just before serving
A5 Wagyu NigiriSeared to melt on contact, plated while warm for maximum sensory impact
Seasonal Fruit SorbetHand-scooped and presented as a final, refreshing bow to the experience

Each movement is purposeful. Each moment is ephemeral. This is the epitome of "ichigo ichie" — one time, one meeting.
