Modern Japanese omakase with inventive dishes, cocktails, sake pairings
"In Old Town, this omakase newcomer from chef Mari Katsumura goes beyond standard nigiri and sashimi, offering playful dishes like milk bread grilled cheese, a corn cream croquette, and tonkotsu ramen with iberico ham. Still, the real highlight is the DIY hand rolls: pristine slices of fish, duck, and wagyu draped over rice arrive with nori, a soy‑sauce dropper, wasabi, and pickled ginger, inviting me to assemble each bite myself — a fun, interactive experience that’s far more engaging than simply watching a chef at work." - Jeffy Mai
"A 12-seat omakase from Mari Katsumura (Yūgen, Entente) marries Japanese tradition with global influences across a 10-course menu that goes beyond nigiri—think hot and cold dishes, pressed hand rolls, and fruit-forward desserts—paired with sakes, grand cru Champagne, rare Japanese whiskies, and creative cocktails." - Jeffy Mai
"Chicago is on an omakase openings roll—this time with a new spot in Old Town. Sho Omakase leans on the more modern side of the sushi tasting spectrum. The $149, 10-course meal includes milk bread grilled cheese, corn cream croquettes, and handrolls dipped in sauces and topped with cotton candy. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - John Ringor
