Yoko

An Intimate Omakase Series | July 31 – August 2 Queen Omakase brings its celebrated Miami experience to the heart of San Juan for a three-night culinary event where Japanese precision meets Caribbean soul. From July 31st to August 2nd, indulge in a rare and intimate omakase series curated by three visionary chefs: Chef Max Kamakura, Chef José Meléndez of Yoko, and Chef Marielys Hernandez Nazario of AWWA. This collaborative dinner celebrates heritage, technique, and innovation through the lens of Japanese tradition infused with Puerto Rican spirit. There are no menus. No expectations. Only trust. Join Chef José Meléndez of YOKO and Chef Max Kamakura for two intimate evenings of omakase, where each course unfolds in the moment — guided by instinct, heritage, and the unspoken rhythm between chef and guest. This is where Japanese Edomae technique meets Caribbean boldness in an experience defined not by what’s on the plate, but by the story it tells. Each night is a ritual, shaped by two culinary minds converging in the heart of YOKO. Then, on August 2, the journey continues at AWWA, where Chef José, Chef Max, and Chef Marielys Hernandez come together for a ceremonial tuna breakdown and an inspired menu built entirely from the catch. Trust begins here. Reserve your seat at YOKO. Limited availability.
