ABOUT
ICHIKA OMAKASE
The term translates to English as “I will give it to you”, and what’s being left is for the chef to decide which dishes guests will enjoy. It’s the opposite of à la carte ordering. However, far from making a
meal arbitrary and perhaps anxiety filled for guests, omakase ordering gives chefs the kind of
creative freedom necessary to fully convey their sensibility. Diners, meanwhile, enjoy what in fact
is exquisite anticipation ahead of every carefully prepared and imaginatively presented dish.
PHILOSOPHY
At Ichika Omakase, a venerable Japanese culinary tradition is in full flower. Indeed, Ichika means “one flower”, that is, the one flower that can truly delight the senses. When Bangkok diners catch sight of Ichika’s eye-catching Sakura flower logo at the venue’s entrance, they know awaiting inside are equally distinctive aromas, textures and tastes.
For an omakase chef, such artistic unfolding is like both stage performance and gallery exhibition. In this mise en scène, the chef takes center stage as principal performer. Displaying his technical mastery, he enhances each performance with a personal touch while interacting among guests, sharing knowledge as well as a story and a laugh or two. He’s not only a performer but a creator too, as the restaurant likewise functions as his gallery wherein each object d’art created is no less than an edible treasure.
These same virtuoso culinary performances and creations unfold every day at Ichika Omakase within a stylish yet friendly, welcoming atmosphere. And it’s a virtuosity, moreover, available to everyone, whether omakase expert a first-time diner.
EQUIPMENTS
High-grade equipment and materials similarly complement Ichika’s premium ingredients and
further confirm the restaurant’s meticulous attention to every detail. Kitchen tools, as every
omakase chef knows, do far more than get the job done; they make possible the practice of true culinary art. Cutting boards, as just one example, determine not only the size and shape of seafood pieces but also affect presentation as well as, crucially, taste. Thus, Ichika uses a 150-years-old tree variety chosen specifically for the size, pattern and scent of its wood. The importance of knives, meanwhile, cannot be overstated. Ichika knives are forged from top-grade Japanese blue steel and
are exceedingly sharp, allowing for highly accurate cuts while imparting no taste to ingredients.
FOOD GALLERY
Apart from such expertise currently applied every day and night at Ichika, the restaurant’s owners and partners developed substantial know-how regarding fish and seafood before they had ever served a customer: prior to opening the venue, they carefully studied matters such as farming techniques and seasonal effects in order to ensure the absolute finest produce would be found and then imported to Thailand.
