I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. It was our first time trying Rakki, and our first omakase experience. We did the full omakase experience for $128 per person (welcome drink + 15 courses), but they have other omakase experiences that are a bit cheaper.
Chef Javier was great & very knowledgeable. Every course, he would explain what each ingredient was, why he prepared the dish as he did, & what flavors we can expect. The party next to us had some dietary restrictions, and Chef Javier was able to accommodate them by making them a different course that catered to their specific needs. The food tasted amazing. The fish was fresh & all the courses that Chef Javier curated were packed with unique flavors that went together well. My favorite bites were the chawanmushi (legitimately one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. It was so savory!), negitoro handroll, and the king salmon with caviar, but some of the courses are marked as “seasonal,” so they change depending on what ingredients are in season. Our seasonal sashimi course was greater amberjack sashimi with a mountain berry, and our seasonal limited nigiri course consisted of 3 nigiri: A5 wagyu with black truffle shavings, king salmon with caviar, & shrimp with a truffle mayo.
The only food item that I think was lacking a bit was the matcha tiramisu. It was still delicious, but next to the other dessert option (mango panna cotta) that was so phenomenal, the matcha tiramisu felt a bit lackluster. My tiramisu was a tad dry, but the sweetness level was perfect. It was not overly sweet, which I like. But, despite loving matcha tiramisu, I preferred the mango panna cotta, which I was pleasantly surprised by! I’m usually not a fan of panna cotta, but this was delicious. It was served in a chilled dish as well, which made it cold and refreshing. Sweet, tangy, light, tart… an absolute home run.
The presentation of everything was gorgeous. It really adds to the experience & makes it feel like a fancy, spec
