The name - 8 - The number between 7 & 9. The atomic number of Oxygen. A lucky or holy number in Asia. More importantly, it's the number of packages of made-to-measure clothing you\u2019ll receive in a year. 2 packages per quarter.
o\xb7ma\xb7ka\xb7se - Walk into a nice sushi restaurant, push aside the menu and say \u201cOmakase.\u201d You just told the chef \u201cI trust you, do what you do best.\u201d He\u2019ll serve you his signature dishes, only the freshest cuts and maybe even a special surprise, all in thoughtful sequence.
