Multi-course sushi tasting menus in Hong Kong with seasonal ingredients and progression.
A sushi tasting menu — omakase — is a curated progression the chef designs around the season and the day's best fish, building from light to rich across many courses.
🍣 How a Tasting Progresses
A typical omakase opens with starters (zensai) or sashimi, moves through a nigiri sequence ordered from delicate white fish to richer cuts like toro and uni, and finishes with tamago and sometimes a soup or dessert. Counts range from about 10 to 24 courses by tier.

💡 Enjoying the Progression
💡 Key Point: Trust the sequence — it's designed to build your palate. Don't fill up early; pace yourself across the courses, and mention dietary needs at booking so the chef can adapt the progression.
⭐ Pro Tip: Don't fill up on the opening courses — an omakase is paced to build toward its richest pieces. Trust the chef's order and save room for the toro, uni, and tamago that usually come later.
