Filed Under: Chef Salad | Dealage

While October typically finds restaurants busy bringing fall menus to the fore, Zama (128 S. 19th St.) is rolling out Omakase October. Chef/owner Hiroyuki "Zama" Tanakas tasting menus will set you back $55, with five courses of sushi and hot items, plus dessert (all sustainable!); a wine or sake pairing can be added for $25. Some dishes come straight off Zamas menu, while others are specially created for the omakase. The omakase option is available Sunday through Thursday. Check out a sample omakase menu after the jump. First Course Oyster: Chili ponzu shooter Tuna California: Thin sliced Big Eye tuna wrapped with jumbo lump crab, avocado and cucumber with miso mustard sauce Takaki Salad: Toasted Sesame Dressing Second Course Salt Plate Sashimi: Sliced sashimi crudo-style with shiso, extra virgin olive oil, lime Third Course Spicy Halibut Tempura: broccoli and cauliflower Fourth Course Surf and Turf': Kirin Ichiban-braised short ribs over pan-seared crab cake with braising liquid and a miso mustard sauce Fifth Course Sushi Combination: Chef's selection maki with chef's selection of nigiri Sixth Course Green Tea Ice Cream: with sugar wonton over a brownie
