For today’s discerning diner, wellness is as important as taste. Gone are the days when fine dining meant overindulgence. Modern luxury celebrates balance — and at Yuzu Omakase, located in Bangkok’s Siam Square, this balance is perfected through the Japanese culinary philosophy of seasonality, purity, and restraint.

Each omakase course at Yuzu is not just beautiful — it is intentional, blending nutrient-rich ingredients and meticulous preparation to support health, energy, and longevity. This is sushi with purpose: crafted to feed more than just the appetite.

🥢 Japanese Cuisine and Nutritional Balance: A Centuries-Old Model of Wellness

Rooted in tradition, the Japanese diet has long been recognized as one of the world’s healthiest — praised for its ability to prolong life, maintain heart health, and reduce chronic disease.

Key nutritional benefits of traditional Japanese cuisine include:

• Lean protein from fish and shellfish
• Abundant omega-3 fatty acids, especially from cold-water species
• Low saturated fat content
• Fermented foods that support gut health
• Seasonal vegetables, served raw, lightly pickled, or steamed
• Balanced portions, fostering mindful eating without deprivation

Yuzu Omakase elevates this philosophy into the fine dining realm — without sacrificing any of its core health benefits.

🐟 The Protein Power of Yuzu’s Sushi Selection

Sushi at Yuzu is not just about flavor — it’s a masterclass in clean, high-quality protein. Each nigiri is crafted from seafood with an exceptional protein-to-fat ratio, supporting muscle repair, satiety, and metabolic efficiency.

🔹 Common Protein-Rich Courses at Yuzu Omakase:

Sushi Type	Nutritional Highlight
Akami (Lean Bluefin Tuna)	High in complete protein, low in fat, excellent for iron and B12
Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper)	Delicate white fish, lean and rich in selenium and potassium
Shiro Ebi (White Shrimp)	Low-calorie protein, rich in iodine and antioxidant selenium
Anago (Sea Eel)	Mild, sweet, and protein-dense with healthy unsaturated fats
Hamachi (Yellowtail)	Protein-packed with a luxurious texture, also high in vitamin D

Each of these selections is served raw or lightly treated, preserving their full amino acid profile and keeping unnecessary calories to a minimum.

🧠 Omega-3s: Brain Food in Every Bite

What truly sets Yuzu Omakase’s menu apart is its abundance of omega-3 fatty acids — essential for cognitive function, heart health, inflammation reduction, and hormonal balance.

✨ High Omega-3 Stars at Yuzu:

• Otoro (Fatty Tuna Belly) – Marbled and rich, with a luxurious mouthfeel and potent DHA/EPA content
• Nodoguro (Blackthroat Seaperch) – A delicacy known for its deep fat content and buttery finish
• Uni (Sea Urchin) – A rare, omega-3-rich superfood that also contains zinc and vitamin A
• Sanma (Pacific Saury) – Available seasonally, this silver-skinned fish is one of the highest omega-3 sources in Japan

Even in small portions, these ingredients deliver powerful health benefits — without the heaviness or oxidation associated with cooked fats.

🥬 Vegetables and Plant-Based Complements: Quiet Stars on the Plate

While Yuzu is famed for its seafood, it also weaves in seasonal vegetables, microgreens, seaweeds, and fermented elements with care. These ingredients offer fiber, antioxidants, and gut-friendly microbes, creating a sense of completeness in the meal.

🍃 Vegetable-Focused Components Often Included:

• Sunomono: A vinegared vegetable dish that stimulates digestion
• Tsukemono: Light pickles that offer probiotic value
• Chawanmushi with Mushroom or Spinach: A steamed egg custard that pairs plant and protein
• Seasonal garnishes: Yuzu zest, shiso leaf, daikon threads, or mountain vegetables
• Kombu Dashi (Kelp Broth): A clear soup rich in umami and iodine, often served at the beginning or end

These additions are not filler — they’re foundational, helping regulate blood sugar, ease digestion, and complete the wellness arc of the meal.

🍵 Balanced Dining Structure: Designed for Digestive Wellness

Unlike many modern meals, which are rushed and oversized, the omakase structure at Yuzu is built for digestive harmony and energetic flow.

🧘 The Rhythm of the Meal Promotes:

• Smaller portions across multiple courses → Encourages mindful pacing and reduces overeating

• Warm dishes interspersed with raw → Supports metabolism and gentle satiety

• Minimal starch → Just enough sushi rice to balance the fish without spiking insulin

• Low-sodium, low-sugar seasoning → Most flavor comes from natural umami, not processed sauces

Every bite serves a dual purpose: to delight the palate and serve the body’s needs.
