Obviously you will be asking for off the menu items a chef can create from what ever they have, typically price of Omakase is more expensive than the most expensive item on a menu. Also, not all restaurants and not all chefs will do Omakasa, it could be restaurants or chefs own policy or just does not have any ingredients to do Omakase at that particular day. When a restaurant happen to be very busy then a chef can politely decline Omakasa because it is too busy to deal with off the menu items.

All restaurants recommended here, do we really know that those restaurant's do Omakase on regular basis? We are talking about requesting off the menu items. Also, OP asked for Kaiseki, tempura restaurants usually do not do kaiseki because their specialty is tempura only. Then OP asked for Nigiri at One Star restaurant vs. Three Stars restaurants. Sushi is not Kaiseki. I kind of wondering if OP himself/herself knows what he/she is looking for.
