My First Omakase Experience"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Wednesday, my fiance and I celebrated our four-year anniversary by treating ourselves to some amazing sushi. I had heard on TikTok and Instagram about a place called Toshokan, and since neither of us had ever tried omakase, I thought it was a great opportunity for us to splurge on food (not that I need ever need an excuse!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Wikipedia, the phrase <em>omakase<\/em> means &#8220;I leave it up to you,&#8221; referring to the customer leaving it up to the chef to serve a series of plates of their choosing. Typically, the American omakase experience is for sushi restaurants where customers enjoy a number of courses presented by the chef. As described on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toshokanatx.com\/\">website<\/a>, &#8220;Toshokan is a 14-course omakase sushi speakeasy, served with the intention to only 6 diners at a time.&#8221; Yes, that&#8217;s right &#8211; me, my fiance, and 4 other people were the only diners which made for the ultimate personalized experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they described, the location is a speakeasy, so it was actually tucked behind a bookcase at Native Hostel and Bar. My fiance and I had to wander around a little bit before we found the bartender and other diners. While we waited to be let in, the bartender served us a delicious sake-based pomegranate cocktail. Then, once they were ready, the bookcase (pictured below) opened and we were thrust into a very intimate bar set-up with shelving and drinks adorning the walls. We found our assigned seat, indicated by the personalized tile of wood with our name. Since I had previously indicated in the reservation that Kyle and I were celebrating our anniversary, Chef Saine personalized the backside for us as well! On one wall, Saine had the menu and a corresponding map so he could point out where everything came from while explaining the courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"777\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7397.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-777\"\/><figcaption>the entrance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7404.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-778\"\/><figcaption>a personalized tile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2382\" height=\"2382\" data-id=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?resize=2382%2C2382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?w=2382&amp;ssl=1 2382w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7457.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>the menu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On to the meal!

I&#8217;ve only ever tried oyster once in my life and I hated it, but this was actually delicious and had such a bright, citrus-y punch to it. Salmon is one of my favorite fish so I also loved it with its beautiful texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7409.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-756\"\/><figcaption>blue fin tuna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7410.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-755\"\/><figcaption>oyster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"757\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7416.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-757\"\/><figcaption>salmon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7418.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-759\"\/><figcaption>medium fatty tuna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Round 2<\/strong>: I feel like I am betraying all the wonderful fish in this round by saying this, but the ribeye was hands-down my favorite from these four.

Scallop itself is delicious, but when paired with the Peruvian-inspired salsa verde and chili garlic crunch, I was in heaven. When someone brought up licking the plate, Saine commented that it has happened &#8211; and I believe it! The spot prawn came in a delicious cucumber, watermelon base and was fully edible. You should have heard the &#8220;cronch&#8221; which reminded me of the shrimp crackers Asian snack, only better. Eel is my favorite sushi &#8211; I order it almost anytime I get sushi, so I am definitely biased, but because Chef Saine smoked it (in front of us, I might add), it took on a whole other level of sumptuousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7437.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-764\"\/><figcaption>palate cleanser<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7439.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-762\"\/><figcaption>scallop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7443.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-766\"\/><figcaption>spot prawn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ruthyfoody.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_7447.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-768\"\/><figcaption>fresh water eel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Final Round: <\/strong>This round has only one fish-based course and it technically wasn&#8217;t part of the meal since I ordered it as extra. Right before dessert, Chef Saine offered to make (for additional cost) a repeat of any of the courses or a new one using the fish he had on hand. I opted for the albacore with which he made a spicy tuna-inspired sushi. The dessert was definitely a major highlight with the chocolate served raclette-style, toasted marshmallow ice cream, and graham cracker pieces. My favorite of this round would have to go to the steak and potatoes because it came with the Korean-style braised beef and I&#8217;ve always wanted to try potatoes served like this, thinly sliced and in a crunchy-outside-soft-inside stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex
