I'm Back Again At This $200 Sushi Omakase in Tokyo! • Sushi Satake | True Dining POV

[@clarkie0167]

I had omakase in Fukuoka yesterday. I appreciated the fact that all of my nigiri had sauces/salts already applied so I didn't have to dip in shoyu.

[@Eutimio182]

Great video and great place, I'm 100% convince to make a reservatio. I only have one question, did you get a special permission to record the omakase experience or is that a common thing for visitors to do? Really curious on how that works. Thanks in advace!

[@jgosto1967]

what lovely editing and post

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Thank you so much!

[@draciellow414]

Thank you for the video! Great to compare seasonal changes with the food for each restaurant. Personally, I have never been to Satake in my travels but definitely would not mind to try it someday if I have a spare spot in my itinerary. I have the opportunity to visit Arai-san in July (amongst a couple of new sushiyas that I am trying) so fingers crossed that it's delicious. When are you next back to Japan?

[@xXMrDJXx]

Great video! Did you pay extra for the a la carte sushi at the end or was it included in the 33000yen?

[@jennyfoodtravels]

A la carte sushi is extra. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the price for each extra nigiri so I wasn't able to mention it in the video

[@andgainingspeed]

Thanks for including the chef Satake's mention of his tuna broker. I read a couple of interviews with the head of the Yamayuki Group, Yakita Yamaguchi which gave me a greater appreciation for the work that goes into getting the best tuna to the top end restaurants. Based on the possibility of operating losses in the tuna game (which is his primary passion) his group is has other related businesses to diversify their portfolio. If the "night owl" who runs this channel ever gets insomnia and finds herself awake when the fish markets are opening ... maybe we'll get a special episode? 😅

[@jennyfoodtravels]

There is a very low chance this night owl will be awake during those times; but if it does happen, I'll try my best to showcase the experience! 😴☺️

[@L-Man-Gaming]

It’s not clear. When you book the reservation is that full price or is that just for the seat? Do you have to pay more once you are at the restaurant?

[@jennyfoodtravels]

When you make the reservation on Omakase.in, you'll only have to pay for the website booking fee which is 150 yen. You'll then have to pay for the meal at the restaurant afterwards. Hope this helps!

[@japanjiaks]

after you've been there twice, i've secured a reservation next week for Satake's main counter!

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Oooh yes! I'm excited for your visit there!

[@laauuraav]

I have binge watching all your videos trying to decide where to go when I visit Japan , I'm torn between Sushi Susuki, Sushi Satake or Sushi Koharu, which one would you recommend the most? Thank you!

[@jennyfoodtravels]

I highly recommend Sushi Suzuki for a nigiri focused lunch omakase and Sushi Satake for dinner with hearty appetizers and nigiri!

[@Mushi98]

How does the a la carte work? Do you pay extra for that?

[@oliawak]

Looks amazing!was it hard to make reservations?

[@jennyfoodtravels]

It is! Reservations are relatively easy as well. There should be no trouble finding seats two/three weeks ahead

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

YES

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Yes to your yes!

[@jeromelim3341]

This looks absolutely incredible!

[@blacklabel810]

このビデオを見てとてもうれしく思います、 とてもプロフェッショナルなシェフ、私はあなたの仕事を誇りに思っています。👍

[@jennyfoodtravels]

どうもありがとうございます!

[@karlki8]

I have seen a lot of omakase videos here on youtube and have yet to see one video where not only the chef is wearing gloves as he makes sushi and people using chopsticks. Is this some sort of requirement when you go to these places? To not use chopsticks when you eat?

[@jennyfoodtravels]

Sushi chefs typically don’t wear gloves because they need to feel the texture of the rice and the temperature of the fish when preparing nigiri. While eating sushi with your hands is optional, using chopsticks may lead the chef to make the rice slightly tighter. Eating with your hands gives you more control, making it easier to move the nigiri from the geta to your mouth. Hope this helps!

[@karlki8]

@@jennyfoodtravels thanks for explaining it to me!!! That said, there's a bunch of omakase restaurants near me and i will go to one of those soon!

[@Simul4tion]

zoon in more text time we cant see well enough.....

[@Solomonsjc]

did he recognize you? how;s your japanese ahha

[@jennyfoodtravels]

I was suprised that they acutally recognized me! It was such a nice touch to be seated in front of Chef Satake this time Bad. I only know a few common phrases in Japanese. The manager kindly helps with translation, which really makes the experience more comforting and enjoyable!
