The craft beneath the course.

Chef Scott Yonamine makes the plates for our omakase himself, shaping each one, glazing it, waiting on the kiln, learning what the fire chose to do with the color. By the time a piece of nigiri is set down in front of you, two crafts have already met.

Edomae tradition, carried through to the clay.

Omakase, one exquisite bite at a time.

Each course is a quiet moment of precision, delicate knife work, and flavors that unfold one bite at a time. From the first piece to the final finish, every detail is guided by craft, balance, and respect for tradition.

Discover an evening shaped by season, craft and the pleasure of discovery.

A study in balance and precision, from bar to glass. Bartender Justin sets the tone of the evening with cocktails shaped by seasonality at AMA.

06/24/2026

A collection of extraordinary ingredients.

From the waters of Japan to carefully handpicked local fisheries on the Central Coast, every selection is sourced at the height of freshness and chosen for their exceptional quality.

Experience the purest expression of omakase, where each ingredient is treated with quiet reverence and every bite is a reflection of the season.

A Conversation Between Chef and Sea.

Omakase at AMA unfolds one course at a time, each piece shaped by what arrived fresh that morning. Bluefin aged to the right edge of richness, hand-pressed nigiri brushed with house soy, a slip of uni over warm rice. The chef sets the pace, and the only decision left to you is whether to linger.

Crafted with joy.

Two ways Pastry Chef Julien Guignard celebrates a taste of the season.

From a Rhubarb & Sakura Flower Mochi Cake - mochi cake and crispy puffed quinoa with rhubarb three ways, finished with sakura flower sorbet to local Gaviota strawberries with vanilla sponge cake and a Tahitian vanilla–white miso ganache, brightened with a strawberry jus.

The first taste goes to Chef Scott. A beautiful final note to the evening at AMA Sushi.

06/12/2026

The moment before the first sip.

White Burgundy, poured slow. Bright, mineral, quietly luxurious. A wine made for summer, and for the delicate Japanese cuisine it so naturally complements. Your glass is waiting.
