LAο½Had an Extremely Filling Omakase 6 Hours Before My Flight π£
π΅ The "pretty meal" vibe instantly took me back to my student days. The wooden decor, ceiling fire safety equipment, NSF-certified sink, and the countertops filled with dishes and cooking stations made me realize β the hardware in Japanese restaurants here just canβt compete with the fierce standards back in China π . π Appetizer: Octopus Leg Braised until soft with no chewiness, charred on the surface. Some burnt parts were trimmed, but a bitter aftertaste still lingered β not the best texture experience. π£ Sashimi Section Most slices felt too cold and the flesh seemed loose, almost like it had lost its vitality π. Compared to Shanghai, the seafood here felt less fresh, though portions were generous and filling. Also, first time having sashimi served directly on the countertop β a bit rough for my mild OCD, haha! π¨ Dessert The classic combo: matcha ice cream + red bean paste + mochi π‘. Pretty good! ππ» My friend said, "For this price range, it's actually one of the better omakase spots in LA right now." πππ Anyway, still a happy meal β now fully fed and ready to fly back home! π #LAEats #LAOmakase #Omakase #JapaneseFoodInLA #AestheticMeal π
