It’s getting harder to book at popular #OMAKASE restaurants, isn’t it! There are also reasonable cancellations happened at each restaurant though, due to current #COVID situation. We want you to stay home safely if you’re not well. So thank you for letting us know, however, chefs prepared already for your reservations, especially at omakase restaurants. Why don’t we help each other to support local small businesses🙏

Tag @washokulovers to share your favourite Japanese food 😋

My first time to @little_itoshin in Miami and we both enjoyed it. The food was #oishii 👌🏻meaning delicious in Japanese.
Top right is the Wasabi Salmon Tartare & Crackling - the crackling was the Salmon skin and so crispy like a cracker.
Next down was my favourite Okinomiyaki which is kind of a Japanese savoury pancake.
Bottom & the big picture is the Tuna Tataki which is Raw fish lightly seared on the outside which was delicious with the Sake I had.
