Question & Answer
Music downloads
Omakase's music will probably have a lossless option.
Plans to expand Omakase beyond the UK and US/Canada?
Yes, but depends on the territory. Europe and Latin America are key areas for Omakase's expansion.
Any chance of HD video without the merchandise box?
"It's not an option, but we might revisit it in the future".
