You might think of aexa as a place to come to eat traditional Japanese food but what if I told you that there’s a modern and Innovative restaurant in this District where you can enjoy Michelin star food well there is a place just like that called omage and I’m about to

Head to this restaurant and find out what it has to offer this presentation is stunning I have never seen three layers of plates underneath a bowl of super for before we go don’t forget to subscribe for more awesome Japan Adventures let’s Go I am now deep in residential aexa about a 15-minute walk from aexa station and I’m on my way to the French restaurant called omage omage is a French word which means to show gratitude or appreciation for something or someone so this restaurant aims to show gratitude

To Nature and also to the farmers and producers who grow the ingredients they use and most of all to show gratitude to the customers who come to the restaurant and enjoy their incredible Creations so I’m really excited to go check out this restaurant and see what kind of amazing

French food they have to offer let’s go inside here we are it’s Beautiful This is super cute Hi For just manyi for wow what a pretty vro wow this is a really cool beastro I’m going to have to come back here sometime and have a drink and a bite to eat of some authentic daily French food I’d love to try but first let’s go to Homage and enjoy a coarse dinner

Con for for wow this presentation is stunning I have never seen three layers of plates underneath a bowl of soup before I love the concept of splitting the two parts of the onion to create this really unique presentation that also will probably taste very special Vish swas by

The way if you don’t know it’s a potato and onion soup and I personally love it so I can’t wait to see what they’ve done with the Vish swas soup it’s it feels like such a shame to mix it up cuz it looks so beautiful but he said to blend

The flavors so I’m mixing it together M phenomenal the moment it hits your tongue burst of flavor wow that is so good it’s super creamy it’s almost a little bit cheesy and you get these like little subtle pops of flavor from the caviar that are a little bit salty just a really

Beautiful Harmony of flavors I wouldn’t say it tastes like a traditional vichi SWS at all even more flavorful also I love the crunch of the the beets wait are beets crunchy I don’t know I’m not sure where I’m getting the crunch but there’s little chunks that uh give you a

Little bit of crunch so you get this creaminess little bit of crunch I love this fun playful variety of textures honestly it’s really really delicious very creative Wow it’s Beautiful Once again the presentation is stunning it actually in the light the bubbles kind kind of reflect this little iridescent rainbowy color it is very very pretty it’s kind of like a shrimp bubble bath that’s what it looks like and I’m very excited to see what it

Tastes like so let’s dig in ooh the moment I scoop a spoonful I’m like there’s this waft of shrimp Aroma and it looks like there’s some ah this is the Gin for a second it was green I thought it was grapes these these are the ginan

Or the Gino nuts which are currently in season in the Autumn there it is right there m I’m really impressed by how creative these dishes are I have never had a soup that has gko nuts in it before um and if you’ve ever had a gko nut the inside is really

Chewy um it’s really bouncy and chewy actually almost a little bit rubbery and it gives this very unique Aroma it’s kind of like a Nutty it gives a Nutty Aroma to it but the texture is not crunchy at all it’s really soft and chewy uh it’s really good and I love the

Almost the popping of the bubbles in your mouth M this tiny white thing which I for a second I thought it was a shallot it’s the peanut that he mentioned just add a little bit of an extra nuttiness it’s a really creative dish I would say it’s like a little bit

Of a soupy Dish as well it’s really Good for Wow once again the presentation is stunning very artistic um I love the variety of sauces that he uses here I’ve actually never tried uh either of these sauces bernaes apparently it’s kind of similar to a Holland sauce and the Chim chuty sauce uh also I love the way that the steak is

Presented with some Naga IMO and I just noticed there’s something underneath it as well if we take a little peek wow there’s a little bit of hidden vegetables underneath let’s give this a try I’ve added a little bit of beret sauce and I’m really impressed by how

Thick this cut of meat is oh my goodness it’s seared on the on the outside the inside looks very rare which is how a lot of Japanese people enjoy their beef so when in Japan definitely give it a try mhm wow okay that takes a moment to

Process the variety of flavors that are happening here first of all the meat is so juicy oh my goodness um you really get these like the Umami of the oils that seep out with every bite it’s so good and what’s really really unique about it is the

Naga emo um what an interesting texture you might be surprised that nagaimo is one of those interesting so-called potatoes I don’t think it’s an actual potato kind of root vegetable that has this um kind of cooling but also this interesting um gooey texture um they really the chef really plays with these

Textures and this kind of like refreshing cooling vegetable um I think there’s Mega emo chopped up here they get a little bit of this crunch um while also kind of balancing out that really strong Umami flavor my goodness this is a very unique and playful dish I love

It what what an incredible dish each dish I tried today was each so unique and so so delicious and also just so playfully creative it is so much it’s not just a delicious experience I also find it to be a fun experience for your taste buds so if you guys are looking
