Thank goodness I was eating sushi when I watched. Otherwise would have drooled all over my phone!

[@WalkwithFa]

Haha. And it’s great to know you enjoyed my video while eating! 😊 thank you for watching 🙏🏻

[@adamcollins4345]

I contacted Pocket Concierge (for those that don’t know it’s the website for reservations for many Japanese restaurants) and I was told if you are only a party of one you cannot make a reservation here, unfortunately.😢

[@WalkwithFa]

I’m so sorry to hear that 😢 I was looking on Pocket Concierge for you and found that most restaurants only accept a party of 2 or more. That’s really too bad. I hope they try to resolve this! Although it’s not a lot but I saw a few places that would accept a party of one too though. Hope you can find a good omakase spot for your trip soon! 🤗

[@aarushisaha5016]

This sushi looks way too good

[@WalkwithFa]

It is delicious! 🥰 if you’re in Tokyo please give it a visit 😊 thank you so much for watching!

[@istudy9]

Urghhhhhhhhhh miss thisss

[@WalkwithFa]

Sushi is life. Thanks for checking out my video!😊😋

[@ぼっさん-o7m]

The first one is actually not a sword fish "mekajiki", but a cutlass fish, "Tachiuo" in Japanese. Just FYI :)

[@WalkwithFa]

Thank you so much for your comment! I thought so, it didn’t taste like Mekajiki I’ve had before. Learning new things everyday 😊 i will note that in the description section. Thanks so much for watching! 💕😆

[@johnnguyen4152]

Last month, I had a sushi dinner at Osaka. OMG, I can't find any other replacement at my city in US. Will be back in July for 2 weeks. Definitely Omasake at Tokyo is top of my to do list.

[@WalkwithFa]

Definitely try omakase in Tokyo! I would love to visit Osaka for sushi too. If you have any place to recommend please do! I’d love to check them out on my next visit. And thanks for watching! 🥰😋

[@johnnguyen4152]

@@WalkwithFa we just randomly pick a restaurant in Dotonbori area after walking around. I don't know the name of the restaurant.

Looks delicious

[@adamcollins4345]

Hi! I was wondering how this places compares to other Omakase you may have tried in Tokyo? I'll be there next week and I'm having difficulty deciding on where to make reservations due to all the choices! Your video is very convincing!

[@WalkwithFa]

Hi 😊 thank you for your comment. I can tell you a little bit more about this restaurant so you have a better picture of it and see if it fits what you’re looking for. For me, this place has the most friendliness, authentic, unpretentious, uncommercialised vibe. Since it’s a very small restaurant, the chef is very attentive to you. He’s very humble and friendly, you can ask him questions about the food and he’ll happily try to explain it. As for their food, they are specialised in cured fish, which makes their Shime Saba (cured mackerel) the best I’ve ever had! I also think the Chef had the best grilled dishes (course 1 grilled tachiuo/course 8 grilled unagi was just amazing!). Sushi wise, I love how his style is very simple while focusing more on bringing out the best of the ingredients itself. There’s so fancy decorations in his food, no fuss, just real flavours! I think that’s the charm of this place. Also the price of 22,000 yen I find it to be very reasonable compared to the quality of the food/the experience that we got from this meal. It’s also tourist/children friendly unlike many other Omakase spots on Japan. Hope this helps and enjoy your time in Japan!

[@adamcollins4345]

Thank you for the comprehensive response! One last question- I’ll be dining alone here. Pocket concierge doesn’t allow for a reservation for one? It’s only allowing at least two or more. Thoughts?

[@user-om9gs1ci4g]

I’m going here in July and can’t wait to do the experience and mention you! But I do would like to know if they accept tip there? I know it’s considered as rude in Japan when you give them tip but I just wanted to make sure so I won’t feel embarrassed.

[@WalkwithFa]

I’m so happy that you are going to try out this place! It’s amazing 😊 I really do hope you enjoy your experience as much as I did 🥰 I usually don’t give any tips in Japan. I think there are some cases that you can tip, but I’d try to avoid it. I think just let the Chef know how much you love the food, they really appreciate that 😊 thank you so much for watching!

[@Binhdan-e4k]

Is it easy to make reservations ?

[@WalkwithFa]

Yes! It’s not too difficult to make a reservations here but I think please make the booking at least 1-2 weeks in advanced 😊 I reserved through Pocket Concierge website. Details in the description! Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻

[@pietrobaratta4356]

Thank you for the video! It's"Sardine" not "Sadine"

[@WalkwithFa]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching and correcting my spelling 😆

[@Blistris]

Course 8: Anago is Sea eel and Unagi is the fresh water eel

[@WalkwithFa]

Thank you for your comment and for watching! 😊 all corrections have been noted in the video description. Please see them for your reference. Thank you 😊

[@LordBagdanoff]

Way too expensive for the Omakase

[@WalkwithFa]

Thank you for your comment 😊 I think this restaurant is in the mid-range. Higher range Omakase restaurants (on pocket concierge) would be around 30,000 yen and above. For a 21-course meal with premium ingredients like this one I think the price is very justifiable. If you are interested in the different prices please check pocket concierge link in the description 🥰🙏🏻

[@Mama-ud3ci]

Amazing food preparation. One of the best omakase I have seen so far 👍 very enjoyable experience to watch.

[@WalkwithFa]

Thank you for your comment! The Chef was truly amazing. So glad you enjoyed the video. Please stay tuned for more omakase like this one 💕😊

[@dalemartin5133]

I think you have your eels mixed up. Isn’t saltwater anago and freshwater unagi?

[@WalkwithFa]

Omg. You’re most definitely right! Thank you for correcting me. I will correct it in the video. Thanks so much for watching! 🥰😊🙏🏻

[@avonord]

How much was this meal? The web site says Omakase starts at 18000¥

[@WalkwithFa]

This is the “Special Omakase” course ¥22,000 per person 😊 thanks for asking I will add notes of the price in the video description for everyone to see. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🙏🏻

[@avonord]

That’s super quick reply! Thanks!!

[@robsyoutube5867]

how long does the omakase take?

[@WalkwithFa]

For this course it is the biggest course they offer so it took around 1 hr 45 mins 😊 they do have smaller courses which would take shorter time. If you are interested please check out the link of their website/pocket concierge website in the description 🥰 thanks for watching!

[@gpchinwag8949]

Another and cub video. I’ve never had Akinmo. Had everything else. ❤❤❤

[@WalkwithFa]

If you like intense, creamy, nutty flavour, you’ll like Ankimo 🥰 it’s one of my current favorite ingredients! Try it out when you have a chance. Thanks for watching! 😊🙏🏻

[@avonord]

One time I was talking to a Japanese guy. He told me ankimo is good for guys. It makes guys strong, if you know what he means. 😉

[@WalkwithFa]

@@avonord oohh 😳🫣🤭 thanks for the new knowledge haha! Ankimo tastes so good though! Love it ❤️

[@beforethebigbang892]

Thanks for the vid! Quick question: Do you a have a video or know of an omakase that is less than 11000jpy?

[@WalkwithFa]

I know this place called Sushi Tokyo Ten. Great atmosphere, delicious sushi and it’s pretty popular amongst the locals too. First time I went I walked-in to the Shibuya branch, it was pretty busy for lunch so reservation in recommended! Lunch is around ¥5000 and dinner ¥8000. Hope this helps and thank you for watching! 😊

[@krischewying]

Hello! I was wondering how does payment work for reservations with Pocket Concierge. It’s written that PC charges my card the full amount once my meal is complete - so does that mean no payment is made at the restaurant? Is there a risk that I will be charged twice? Would love to hear how it worked out for you! Thank you

[@WalkwithFa]

Thank you for your comment! That’s a great question. You are correct no payment was made at the restaurant. For me, the full amount was charged to my credit card on the day my booking request was confirmed (came up on my online credit card bill when I checked). You can still make changes/cancellation for a full refund but has to be 4 business days before the date of reservation. On the day I completed my meal that’s when the transaction fully went through. 2-3 days after our meal another charge was made to my credit for some beer my dad had at the restaurant 😆 All of the amount charged was correct, nothing was charged twice, I think they had a really good system in place 😊👍🏻 highly recommend the website, made everything so easy! And thank you for watching! 🥰💕

[@krischewying]

@@WalkwithFa Thanks a lot for your swift reply!

[@WalkwithFa]

It might sound horrible but it’s actually very delicious! 😋 thanks for watching!

[@johnnguyen4152]

Do you need to make reservation ahead?

[@WalkwithFa]

Reservation is recommended as it is a small restaurant with only 8 seats. It’s popular amongst the locals in Yotsuya area too 😊 you can easily book through pocket concierge website, link is in the video description 💕

[@sarahacostagarcia823]

Amazing !!

[@WalkwithFa]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@marlstravelogue]

No matter how clean your hands may seem, i dont think I would like someone preparing my food with bare hands.

[@WalkwithFa]

That’s very understandable. But to not use bare hands would defeat the purpose of the art of sushi. Thanks for watching anyways! 😊

Wow. A thousand thank yous for sharing this with us. I’m going back to Japan next year for my 40th and this will be my birthday meal as a gift for myself. Cheers to you!
