One kind of a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant is the experience of omakase, a term that can be translated as “to trust (the chef)” or “respectfully allow another to decide what’s best.” 

Dining in an omakase restaurant means that you don’t get to select what kind of sushi you will be getting, or in what order they’re served as you are entrusting the sushi chef to do that for you. And that’s the one-of-a-kind adventure and experience offered to sushi lovers.

In the video, chef John Daley—owner and head chef of New York’s Sushi Ko, teaches the do’s and don’ts of eating sushi and what to expect when choosing the omakase dining experience.
