LA｜Sushi Kisen｜Third Visit, Still Pure Joy 🍣

I didn’t appreciate Kisen enough when I was younger — now I’m savoring it one day at a time (even if it doesn’t rhyme 😅). Third time at my go-to sushi spot, and it’s still as consistent as ever. White fish remains the star for me 🌟 I’m still not the biggest fan of shellfish here — a little too briny for my taste 🐚 But let’s talk highlights: 🔥 Grilled belt fish — crispy, paired with nori, that first bite is fragrant, crunchy, and perfectly complements the vinegared rice. The umami is just elevated to another level! 😍 🐟 White eel — plump, brushed with eel sauce, served warm… one bite and it melts in your mouth, rich and buttery! Tuna is consistently excellent 🐟💙 The marinated bluefin tuna — seasoned just right, no fishiness, with a touch of lemon zest. Both chutoro and otoro were incredibly fragrant and satisfying! Marking this hidden gem in my heart 🥹 And thanks to certain tariffs… prices are going up soon, so get it while you can! 📈💸 #Omakase #LAFood #LAOmakase #LAJapanese #LAEats #SushiKisen #LosAngeles
