Omakase Experience

I'll Leave it Up To You

Derived from the Japanese term for "I'll leave it to you."

It is a culinary tradition that places complete trust in the chef — at our counter in Santa Teresa, accepting all dishes created especially for you.

This unique dining experience is not simply about the food, but also the relationship built on trust between the chef and the diner.

The Journey

Yasumi's Omakase takes place twice a month — on the second and fourth Sunday.

Each night features a 10-course tasting menu created exclusively for that evening, with no dish ever repeated.

Guided by Japanese technique and local Costa Rican ingredients, at the counter in Santa Teresa, the experience is a chance to pause, taste, and enjoy something new every time.

The Yasumi Touch

Each dish is served directly by the chef — across the counter, by hand, one piece at a time. In that gesture lies the essence of Yasumi: the pause between moments.

“One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The omakase was flawless from start to finish… The chef took the time to explain each bite, from the origin of the fish to the intention behind the flavors, which made the whole experience feel personal and meaningful.”

Dorlyn G., Google review

“The omakase is a must — every course was thoughtful, delicious, and genuinely unexpected for a beach town. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and such a special dining experience from start to finish.”

Mei K., Google review

“We had the 10-course omakase, it was beautiful. The coconut and mango tuna ceviche was a favorite. Would definitely recommend.”

Yasemin, Google review

“The chef put incredible thought and detail into each creation. Everything was fresh and the tastebuds were overly excited with each bite. Service, ambience, and food is 10/10.”

Good to Know

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — vegetarian, allergies, no raw fish, and more. Just tell us when you book so the chefs can prepare your courses accordingly. The menu is built in advance, so the earlier we know, the better we can take care of you.

How do the seatings work?

Three seatings each Omakase night — 6:00, 7:30, and 9:00 PM — all serving the same menu, each lasting about an hour and a half. Please arrive on time: the experience flows course by course, and a punctual start lets every seating get the full journey.

Can I choose what's served?

No — and that's the heart of it. Omakase means "I'll leave it up to you": the menu reveals itself course by course once you take your seat. Dietary restrictions are the one exception — tell us in advance and we'll adapt your courses.

Are kids welcome?

Yes, kids are welcome at the counter.

What does the sake pairing include?

Five pours, chosen to move with the ten courses — poured and explained across the meal as it unfolds.

Can we walk in?

If seats remain, yes — but Omakase nights are small and usually fill, so a reservation is strongly recommended.

What's the cancellation policy?

A 50% deposit confirms your seat. Because we source ingredients specifically for each edition, the deposit is non-refundable. Cancel more than 24 hours before your seating and the remaining balance is never charged; within 24 hours or for no-shows, the experience is charged in full.
