Japanese menus -- frequently asked questions

Why is omakase priced so differently from a la carte sushi?

Omakase ('chef's choice') is a fixed-price tasting menu built around the day's best fish, priced as an experience rather than per piece -- it typically costs significantly more than ordering individual rolls.

What's the difference between nigiri and sashimi pricing?

Nigiri includes a portion of vinegared rice under the fish and is usually priced per piece; sashimi is fish only, usually priced by a set portion, and can run cheaper or pricier than nigiri depending on the cut.

Why do specialty rolls cost more than a basic California roll?

Specialty rolls add multiple premium ingredients (torched fish, unagi, tempura flakes, specialty sauces) and more prep steps than a standard roll, which stacks up quickly on price.
