πΊπΈ LA | Hidden Gem Sushi Spot in Pasadena π£
Tucked away in an unassuming plaza in Pasadena, ICHIMA is a low-key but absolutely delicious Japanese restaurant β and itβs packed every night for a reason! ππ« After one visit, itβs already on my must-return list. π Toro & Uni Don The star of the meal! π Rich, melt-in-your-mouth toro paired with fresh, sweet uni. Heads up β the portion is generous, so itβs perfect for sharing. π Uni Scramble Toast π― Even better than expected! Creamy scrambled eggs + crisp toast + sweet uni = pure magic β¨ So good, Iβm tempted to recreate this at home! π¦ͺ Seasonal Oyster (6 pcs) Petite but super fresh β no briny aftertaste! A delicate, sweet start to the meal. π Hotate Crudo + Tako Carpaccio Thinly sliced scallop and octopus carpaccio β fresh, elegant, and beautifully plated. π± Regular Chirashi + Salmon Teriyaki Stone Pot The chirashi is simple but high-quality π And that sizzling salmon teriyaki stone pot? Comfort in a bowl. ICHIMA may not be super trendy online, but the ingredients speak for themselves π£οΈπ£ You can taste the care the chef puts into every dish β especially anything with toro or uni. If youβre around Pasadena and craving Japanese, donβt sleep on this spot! #ICHIMA #PasadenaEats #HiddenGem #UniToast #SushiLovers #LAFoodFind
