A 2021 visit by Taiwanese food blogger YANG documents the evening omakase at Yo Sushi Jinhua (游壽司金華店), a sushi restaurant on Jinhua Street in Taipei’s Da’an District. Omakase leaves the course selection to the chef, who works with the ingredients available that day. The article also photographs a framed sticker showing that the restaurant received a Michelin Plate distinction in 2018.
The dining room is organized around a polished wooden counter that wraps around the preparation area. According to the review, the chef first asked about ingredients the diners avoided and any allergies. The open layout allowed guests to watch the food being prepared and receive each course directly across the counter.
The documented meal moved from sakura shrimp and greens through sea bream, squid, sweet shrimp, abalone, and a burdock hand roll. It continued with several pieces of nigiri, grilled fish, sea urchin gunkan, miso soup, and sesame ice cream. The article’s photographs show each course individually rather than presenting the meal as a single fixed platter.
The blogger praised the quality of the ingredients and responded positively to several individual dishes, but the overall assessment was mixed. The review criticized the texture of the rice in some pieces and found that too many rich or seared courses arrived consecutively. It offers a detailed record of one meal rather than a guarantee that every omakase sequence will be the same.
