Omakase was refused, we were told to order a set only from the English menu handed to us, yet nearby Japanese customers were served omakase and quite obviously different fish and quality than was offered to us or the nearby foreigner couple. It was very clear the foreigners and Japanese customers were being served differently, and I've been eating sushi and spending time in Japan long enough to know the difference, and I noticed it so clearly because it was so brazen and obvious.
Well, if what you were offered is something even inferior to their usual set menus (which I've reviewed on the Japanese website), it must have been something pretty miserable, because their regular "non-foreigner" offerings look distinctly pedestrian.
