What you eat

Fourteen courses, then as many encores as you can finish.

Every seat at SourAji is the same flat $100. You start with a chef-led 14-course omakase, then the counter opens up: reorder your favourite nigiri, keep the sake coming, and finish with house-made ice cream.

Included with every seating

The 14-Course Omakase

Courses rotate with the market and the season. This is a representative progression — your chef may swap in a better catch on the day.

  1. 01

    Otoro

    The fattiest cut of bluefin belly, brushed with nikiri and barely warmed by hand.

  2. 02

    Chutoro

    Medium-fatty bluefin — the balance point between lean akami and rich otoro.

  3. 03

    Uni

    Sea urchin, spooned over seasoned rice with a strip of nori.

  4. 04

    Hamachi

    Yellowtail, clean and buttery with a touch of yuzu zest.

  5. 05

    Kanpachi

    Amberjack — firmer and leaner than hamachi, finished with sea salt.

  6. 06

    Madai

    Japanese sea bream, lightly cured for a snappy bite.

  7. 07

    Aburi Nodoguro

    Blackthroat seaperch, torched skin-side to render the fat.

  8. 08

    Hotate & Truffle

    Hokkaido scallop, hand-cut and dusted with shaved black truffle.

  9. 09

    Ikura

    Salmon roe marinated in soy and sake.

  10. 10

    Sake Toro

    Fatty salmon belly with a whisper of house sesame oil.

  11. 11

    Ebi

    Sweet shrimp, poached to order and served warm.

  12. 12

    A5 Wagyu Nigiri

    Our signature piece — seared A5 wagyu over rice with garlic and flaky salt.

  13. 13

    Miso Soup

    Dashi-forward miso with tofu and scallion to reset the palate.

  14. 14

What exactly is included in the price?
Every seating is a flat $100 per person and includes the full 14-course omakase set, unlimited encore rounds of select nigiri and small plates, bottomless sake and Japanese beer, and house-made ice cream at the end. Tax and gratuity are additional.
How long is the experience?
Seatings run 90 minutes from your reservation time. Because seats are timed and the counter is small, arriving late shortens your own meal — please plan to be there a few minutes early.
Is it really all-you-can-eat premium fish?
Yes. After the omakase set, you can reorder from the encore list as many times as you like — including lean tuna, chutoro, otoro, salmon and A5 wagyu. There is no cap on rounds within your seating.
What is the leftover charge?
To minimise food waste, any uneaten piece from the unlimited round is charged $10. It only applies to the encore round, never to the omakase set. Order a few pieces at a time and you will never see it.
How do I book a table?
Reservations are handled on Resy for both locations, and each restaurant takes phone calls during service hours. Weekend seatings open up in advance and fill quickly — book early.

Two counters, one flat price

Ninety minutes. 14 courses. Then as much as you like.

$100 per person, tax and gratuity additional. Weekend seatings go fast — book the room you want before it's gone.
