OMAKASE by Michael Weber

Back in 2020, I made a career change and pursued culinary. Last December of 2022, I switched restaurants and got the chance to become a sushi chef. I wrote this album over the past year as my journey as a sushi chef.

OMAKASE. What does this mean? Omakase is a Japanese word and it’s literal definition means “to be left up to you”. Usually this term is associated in sushi restaurants which offer an Omakase-style dinners where the sushi chef makes anywhere from 10-20 single bites for you to try. They tend to contain seasonal or locally acquired ingredients. It's considered one of the most luxurious offers in the culinary world to attend a high-end Omakase dinner.

I decided to concept and create a whole album around sushi and what i do for a living. Lots of repetition and back-and-forth beats to simulate what I experience when feeding customers on a daily basis at my sushi bar. I am constantly writing beats down when I get home. This album is literally the inside of my brain while being a sushi chef.

anyways, I present to you my 4th album release, Omakase.

Cheers,
Michael Weber
