Omakase is often celebrated for its artistry and exclusivity, but beneath the elegance lies a deeper truth: this traditional Japanese dining experience is inherently nourishing. Rooted in clean eating, seasonal ingredients, and mindful preparation, omakase supports more than indulgence—it supports wellness.

At Yuzu Omakase Thailand, each omakase course is more than a culinary performance. It's a curated wellness ritual that draws from centuries-old Japanese knowledge of nutrition and healing, particularly through high-quality raw seafood and traditional teas.

In this article, we explore how these two core elements of the omakase experience—Japanese tea and raw seafood—are more than delicacies. They are medicinal, functional foods that quietly strengthen the body, mind, and spirit.

🍵 Japanese Tea: A Wellness Ritual in Every Cup

Japanese tea is far more than a beverage—it's a centuries-old practice in balance, purification, and mindfulness. At Yuzu Omakase Thailand, a variety of Japanese teas are offered throughout the meal to complement flavors and enhance digestion.

1. Sencha – Antioxidant Powerhouse

Sencha, the most popular green tea in Japan, is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant that helps:

• Reduce inflammation


• Lower blood pressure


• Boost metabolism


• Support heart health



Served warm at the start or end of your meal, Sencha gently stimulates digestion and calms the nervous system.

2. Matcha – Energy Without the Crash

Whisked matcha is served either during dessert or at guest request. Unlike coffee, it offers a slow-release caffeine experience with:

• L-theanine, which promotes calm alertness


• Natural chlorophyll and EGCG for cellular repair


• Detoxification support from its high polyphenol content



Matcha isn’t just energizing—it’s meditative and stabilizing, ideal for midday or evening omakase sessions.

3. Hojicha – Gut-Friendly and Caffeine-Low

Roasted green tea (hojicha) has lower caffeine and higher digestive benefits. It's often served at the end of the meal for:

• A gentle alkaline reset


• Easing post-meal bloating



Supporting the gut lining with mild tannins



This is the go-to tea for wellness-minded guests who want a clean, grounding finish.

🐟 Raw Seafood: Japan’s Ancient Superfood

If Japanese tea soothes the system, raw seafood fuels it.

Rich in lean proteins, omega-3s, and essential minerals, the raw seafood served at Yuzu Omakase Thailand is chosen not only for freshness and rarity but also for its functional health properties.

Let’s look at how some of the most iconic items in Yuzu’s omakase menu support gut health, immunity, and energy:

1. Otoro (Fatty Tuna Belly)

A luxurious cut, yes—but it’s also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation and support:

• Brain function


• Hormonal balance


• Immune regulation


• Joint and heart health



The fats in otoro are easy to digest and ideal for boosting cellular energy.

2. Uni (Sea Urchin)

Uni is rich in:

• Zinc, essential for immune response


• Vitamin A & E, supporting skin and tissue health


• Natural amino acids that promote mood balance



As a soft, enzyme-rich food, uni is gentle on the digestive system and bioavailable—making nutrients easy to absorb.

3. Aji (Horse Mackerel)

This lean white fish is:

• High in taurine, which helps regulate blood sugar


• Full of B12, critical for energy and red blood cell production


• A great source of selenium, a potent antioxidant



Aji is ideal for daily energy and detoxification support, often served lightly cured to preserve freshness and boost umami.

4. Hotate (Scallops)

Sweet and delicate, hotate delivers:

• Collagen-supporting glycine


• Naturally occurring iodine for thyroid health


• Easy-to-digest protein for muscle repair and satiety



Its tender texture makes it an excellent option for those seeking gut-friendly proteins.

5. Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper)

Often served with a light sear, this fish is celebrated for its:

• High protein-to-fat ratio


• Mild flavor and digestive ease


• Natural content of vitamin D, which supports mood and immunity



Kinmedai is a gentle, whole-body nourishing seafood, frequently selected for guests with sensitivities.

🌿 Functional Pairings: Tea & Seafood in Harmony

Yuzu’s culinary team pays attention not only to taste, but to the synergy between tea and seafood:

Tea	Paired Seafood	Wellness Benefit
Sencha	Otoro / Kinmedai	Aids in fat metabolism and cellular repair
Hojicha	Aji / Uni	Supports gut lining and digestion post-fatty
Matcha	Dessert or Wagyu	Helps regulate blood sugar and enhances antioxidant absorption

These combinations reflect Japanese macrobiotic principles, where food is not just consumed—it is curated for balance and wellbeing.

🧘‍♀️ How Omakase Supports Gut Health & Immunity

The omakase format at Yuzu isn’t just aesthetic—it promotes physiological wellness:

• Slower eating pace enhances enzyme release and digestion


• One-course-at-a-time presentation reduces sensory overload and overeating


• Minimal sauces and oils keep dishes digestively clean



Raw seafood contains live enzymes and healthy bacteria that stimulate gut flora



Together, these aspects lead to:

• Better nutrient absorption


• Improved immunity


• Reduced inflammation


• Sustained energy without fatigue



Yuzu’s approach is aligned with integrative nutrition science and Japan’s centuries-old focus on food as medicine.
