Ok,
so
we,
hopefully,
all
know
that
the
Michelin
Guide
is
coming
to
Orlando
this
year.
And
I
have
found
a
place
that
will
for-sure
be
getting
at
least
one
star
for
our
inaugural
year
with
the
guide.
I've
heard
some
pretty
credible
hype
about
this
place
since
it
opened
about
a
year
ago.
It
was
different
from
the
other
omakase
offerings
in
the
city.
So,
I
made
a
reservation
for
a
December
weekend
and
checked
it
out.
So
it's
barely
noticeable.
You'll
pass
it
without
even
seeing
it
from
the
main
street.
It's
tucked
away
very
cozily
into
a
strip
mall
outside
of
downtown
Winter
Park.
And
also,
each
seating
for
their
omakase
is
for
only
10
people.
That's
it,
that's
the
entire
business,
two
10-people
seatings
a
day.
It's
very
different
from
anything
in
Orlando.
So
we
got
in,
got
escorted
to
the
back
room,
and
got
started.
I
want
to
say
that
if
you
choose
to
get
the
drink
pairing
here,
they
will
guide
you
through
everything
you'll
want
to
know
about
the
drink,
which
specific
courses/food
items
it
pairs
with,
and
if
you
finish
your
drink
before
that
course
is
over,
they
will
give
you
a
refill.
Yea,
it's
really
sweet.
I
recommend.
The
courses
started
coming,
and
the
sushi
chefs
were
right
in
front
of
us
preparing
everything
right
before
your
eyes.
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
course-by-course,
but
I
will
highlight
some
of
the
high
points.
First
of
all,
the
first
little
taste
they
gave
us
involved
uni.
So
that
was
starting
off
with
a
bang.
Big
fan.
Appetizers.
Caviar,
pork
belly,
scallops.
All
combined
expertly
with
other
ingredients
to
really
bring
out
their
hidden
flavor
abilities.
Singing
in
your
mouth.
As
the
MC
is
describing
the
dish,
he
lets
you
know
where
the
ingredients
come
from,
including
quite
a
few
which
come
from
the
local
Winter
Park
Farmers
Market,
which
I
love.
Keep
on
keeping
it
local,
guys.
Then,
after
an,
um,
effective
palate
cleanser,
came
the
nigiri.
The
main
idea
of
omakase,
I
think.
Fresh
fish
nigiri,
expertly
crafted,
no
soy
sauce
necessary,
lol.
Just
pick
it
up,
close
your
eyes,
and
eat
it,
and
you'll
be
pleasantly
happy
with
these
pieces
of
fish.
Then,
a
soup
and
a
main
plate
kind
of
thing.
The
last
savory
thing
I
ate
was
a
dish
with
duck
confit,
sea
scallops,
and
mushroom
risotto.
And
these
sushi
chefs
showed
off
their
skills
and
made
all
of
it
delicious,
too.
Not
a
single
critique.
A
couple
of
fun
desserts,
and
then
the
end.
We
got
a
paper
menu
of
everything
we
ingested
that
night,
and
left,
desperately
wanting
second
helpings
of
various
things
we
had
eaten.
Alas,
I
guess
I'll
just
have
to
come
back.
