What is the Japanese term for when the sushi chef prepares a sushi meal for you based on what the sushi chef deems to be fresh and good, as well as what you would be interested in eating?

I believe this is a term or style. There's generally no ordering off a set menu.

  • Dinah, do. But only do it with a really good and creative sushi chef. They will give your tastebuds orgasms.
