Few formal dining experiences are as revered or as intimidating as omakase, a form of Japanese dining in which guests leave themselves in the hands of a chef and receive a meal which is seasonal, elegant, artistic and uses the finest ingredients available.

Omakase shimasu translates roughly to, “I trust you” pertaining to the chef. It is similar to a tasting menu, but much deeper. It means the chef places what courses come out to the chefs judgement, based on what is fresh and great on that specific day, along with the connection and rapport with the eaters preferences and profiles of food.

At Ronin Lowry the chefs will express this method to every diner possible by reading reactions and gaining relationships through adjusting to courses based on immediate feedback and reactions to the food.
