πΊπΈ My Personal Favorite Japanese Spot in LA π£π₯
Charcoal aroma + fresh seafood = Sweet-tooth heaven! π Sharing our go-to sushi place in Santa Monica β weβve been here over 10 times since moving to LA. Perfect to wrap up with a stroll around town ~ pure bliss π« 1οΈβ£ Uni Toro Don π§‘ππ Sea urchin + toro over glossy, slightly sweet rice β topped with caviar. Mix well, wrap in nori, and enjoy as a mini hand rollβ¦ pure happiness in one bite! 2οΈβ£ Halibut Carpaccio with Tropical Fruits πππ₯ A seasonal special (August)! Thinly sliced halibut in a sweet tropical sauce, garnished with edible flowers β beautiful, refreshing, and juicy. 3οΈβ£ Ankimo (Monkfish Liver) π¦π₯ Known as βfoie gras of the seaβ!
