Mothers Day Brunch Omakase at the 1 Michelin starred Kõsen in Tampa Heights led by Chef Chen. 

This restaurant just opened and I have been waiting for them to be able to accommodate Celiacs. Today
is finally my first time here, brunch was completely gluten-free and delicious! Kōsen has been open in the Tampa Heights area (across from Armature Works) for just six months and has already obtained Michelin status as of May 2024.


Each tasting was thoughtfully selected and prepared. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the food, but we tried two new pieces of fish that we have never had before as well as squid which we have had, but the texture and taste was not like what we usually get at most restaurants in the U.S.


The omakase experience is held in a back room that seats 12. The room is gorgeous and calming. There is a lot of positive and relaxing energy in there and at the center is a beautiful large Bonsai tree.

For the Mother's Day brunch we were greeted with a champagne tasting from the sommelier as well as a rose for each of the women. During brunch I opted for a glass of sake which was quite refreshing with notes of citrus and melon.

Overall,  it was worth the wait. I am so glad they now can accommodate Celiacs at Kōsen as well as the main side of the restaurant (which is dine in) Kōseki. I can't wait to come back and visit Kō (their sister concept) and do a Chef tasting in the future.
