LA | Inaba | Now I Understand What “Food High” Means 🍣🎶

A dinner among friends who kept raving about Inaba lately—how it keeps getting better and better. The hype was real. We were a lively, thirsty table of eight, and Chef Yasu-san happily treated us to some guitar and singing—his “Lemon” cover was genuinely beautiful. 🎸🍋 But the food truly stole the show: Smoked toro that left us dreaming about it days later 🐟💨 Sweet, savory marinated shellfish with deeply flavorful roe 🐚 What many call LA’s best ankimo (monkfish liver)—rich and lingering 🍣✨ A rare side-by-side tasting of male and female uni (Yasu-san joked that the male box costs $40 more! 😂) Crispy “tempura-style” rolled snapper, perfectly fried yet tender inside 🐠🔥 I’ve always been casual about omakase, going only when friends book. But after Inaba, I’m ready to make my own reservation—the craving is real. 📞💛 #Foodie #LifeAbroad #LAEats #Omakase #SushiLove #ChefSpecial #HiddenGems #UniLover #GoodTimes #MustReturn
