What is OMAKASE
Omakase is short for "omakase shimasu," which roughly means
"I trust you,[chef]." For an experience built on trust, the customer must feel
comfortable and open to new experiences.
Omakase is a traditional Japanese dining style in which the chef provides a
meal tailored to your preferences based on availability,budget,taste,and
seasonality.

In Japan
We say "itadakimasu" ("I gratefully receive") before eating,
and "gochisosama(deshita)" ("Thank you for the meal") after finishing the meal.

Also, when you would like to say so delicious you can say "So Oishi!!!!!!!"
We will be happy for sure.

Why our sushi rice has a brown color?
This is because we mix the rice with red vinegar.
Red vinegar (Also known as Akazu) is made using sake lees
which is the yeast slurry left over from sake production.
It is considered by many to be the vinegar of choice for
traditional Edomae (Tokyo style)-sushi.
It brings a deep, flavorful,
and refreshing taste full of umami to sushi rice.
It also has many health benefits.
Some of the many benefits include a stronger immune system,
increased physical energy, body fat combustion,
heightened concentration, and skin and hair beautification.

TEISUI is designed to recreate the experience of a Japanese Ryokan* hotel in New York City.
It’s a long way from Japan, and yet TEISUI restaurant is on the same latitude (40 degrees North)
as its sister hotel of the same name in the Akita province in Japan.

The food is prepared by a highly skilled team of Japanese chefs,
The team works in concert and is supported by a roster of visiting chefs from the hotel in Akita, Japan.

*A “Ryokan” hotel is a very different cultural concept that is unique to Japan.
At this type of hotel, guests come primarily to dine, often in their room, and to relax and experience nature.
Each room has a dedicated staff person who brings a tasting menu course by course.
The TEISUI hotel is historic, the only hotel in the Akita region where the Emperor stayed.
It is located in a remote, isolated and beautiful spot on Oga Peninsula. Situated at the top of a mountain,
there are breathtaking ocean views from every room.
