About
YOSHINO is a private, membership-only omakase restaurant in Tokyo, helmed by Chef Yoshi, who has been sourcing fish from local markets since childhood. The restaurant is known for its personalized, non-fixed omakase menus, tailored to each guest's preferences. Chef Yoshi's deep market relationships and family involvement create a unique, intimate dining experience.
The Visit
The visit to YOSHINO begins with Chef Yoshi personally shopping at the market for each guest's dinner, drawing on decades of experience and family tradition. The omakase unfolds in Yoshi's own home, where the atmosphere is set by the zen garden and the chef's father preparing tools. Each course is meticulously crafted, from fatty tuna to blackthroat seaperch and a show-stopping toro and uni hand roll. The experience is immersive, lively, and deeply personal.

Quotes
"You won't believe how long Yoshi's been coming to this market."
"That kinda insider knowledge allowed us to see the best that the market had to offer, like tasting this top-shelf hokkaido uni, otherwise known as sea urchin."
"And what made this even crazier, Yoshi took everything we bought, brought it back to his place, and cooked us an omakase in his own home."
"By the time you step into the main room, you're already buzzing, fully locked in and ready for the omakase to kick off."
"Oh yo. Insane. It just was so fatty and melts in your mouth. I mean, oh my god, excellent."
"Toro sea urchin hand roll. Oh my god. I have a feeling this might be one of the best pieces of sushi in my life."
"That bite should be illegal. The toro and the uni are so perfect together. When you get the crunch from the seaweed, wow."
