Omakase Collaboration Series at Ama Sushi

WHAT: On Thursday January 30, Rosewood Miramar Beach, the Forbes Triple Five Star resort in Montecito, California, is thrilled to host chef Earl Aguilar of Michelin-recognized Sushi Note Omakase Beverly Hills as the first guest in its new collaborative chef series at AMA Sushi, the property’s Michelin-recognized edomae–style restaurant. Under the direction of chef Scott Yonamine, AMA Sushi’s exclusive dinner with Sushi Note Omakase is the first installment of the series, where renowned California-based sushi chefs are invited to the property to participate in a creative culinary exchange for a one night–only omakase experience.

Additionally, as an add-on, the omakase experience will also feature Sushi Note’s acclaimed wine pairings.

ABOUT AMA SUSHI 

Inspired by the legacy of Japanese free divers, AMA Sushi derives its name from the valiant women who swam the ocean to collect fresh seafood for their villages. Tucked away within the property’s sprawling grounds, the restaurant showcases always-fresh ingredients complemented by an extensive selection of wine, sake and innovative cocktails. AMA Sushi can be experienced a la carte or as an omakase meal, allowing for an exchange of trust and spontaneity between guest and chef. Designed in partnership with innovative design firm AvroKO, the restaurant’s striking interiors bring the storied history of the Ama divers to life, seamlessly blending a minimalist Japanese aesthetic with the resort’s signature coastal style.
