Hidden in Pasadena β A Stunning Japanese Restaurant π£β¨
Met up with a friend in Pasadena on Monday and discovered this gorgeous Japanese spot thatβs been around for almost 20 years! π Uni Scramble Toast β A new menu item. Top layer: fresh uni, ikura, and gold leaf β delicate ocean sweetness. Middle: creamy, buttery scrambled eggs. Base: crispy, lightly charred toast. The uni melts in your mouth, blending with the silky eggs and crunchy toast β layered, delicate, and absolutely stunning! π Toro Toast β Another new creation. Rich, melt-in-your-mouth toro with natural fatty sweetness, served on warm crispy toast. Topped with ikura and gold leaf for extra texture and luxury. π Negi Toro Don A generous bowl of minced toro and thick slices of uni β insane value! The toro is smooth and rich but not greasy, paired with sweet uni. Wrap it in crispy nori with rice for another delicious texture combo. π Hanabi Sashimi 15 pieces of thick-cut sashimi β chutoro, salmon, yellowtail, and more. Their toro is especially impressive β each slice is thick and luscious. A must for sashimi lovers! π£ Great Fatty Tuna Roll A true toro feast! Otoro is even richer and silkier, with a natural sweetness. Paired with refreshing cucumber β rich yet not heavy, gets better with every bite. Highly recommended! π Ichima 325 N Rosemead Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107 #IchimaPasadena #JapaneseElegance #UniToast #ToroHeaven #SashimiFeast #HiddenGemLA
