Hamamoto Omakase

Chiefeater Luke Soon finally had the chance to get a reservation for the Omakase at Hamamoto and did not regret it one bit
Japanese, Omakase
I tried Takahashi Singapore omakase which has an 8-month waiting list in Ginza, Japan. The renowned Chef Takahashi honed his craft within the 4 walls of a distinguished 3 Michelin-starred sushi omakase restaurant. His protégé, Chef Rinto Sasagawa trained under him for 8 years before taking the reins for their first overseas outpost.
Chef Rinto - tender aged at 26, started his career at age 15. His experience shows.
We also savoured a cup of Matcha from Shizuoka prefecture, the hometown of Chef Rinto. It so happens that his grandmother is a matcha tea master in Japan, which explains his exceptional skills.

Another one under our Omakase trail. This one comes in at near Oshino, Sato and Ashino levels. 7.5/10. We literally had the place (10 seater) to ourselves- which added to the experience. We had chef Rinto’s undivided attention for dinner service.
To us, Oshino, Shinji still ranks (slightly) higher. Price wise, this goes beyond even Oshino.
