LA Japanese Breakfast｜Azay 🍱🍮

A super cozy and laid-back Japanese restaurant The space is small but full of warmth The chef-owner is super friendly and loves sharing stories with guests 🧓✨ Japanese breakfast spots like this are truly rare in LA—it feels fresh and special! Plus, since the chef has a strong background in French cuisine, his desserts are authentically French and absolutely delicious 🥐🍯 Heads up: this place closes early—around 1:30 PM—so make sure to go in the morning! Also, the menu changes weekly, so there’s always something new to try 🔄 🍱 Nagoya Hitsumabushi This is the famous unagi rice bowl everyone raves about! The eel is incredibly tender and flavorful 🐟 The chef uses eel from China for its ideal balance of fat and aroma The sauce is subtle but perfect—not too overpowering He also recommends enjoying it with tea, which is a classic Japanese way to eat it 🍵 🍮 Vanilla Crème Brulée This crème brulée totally blew me away! The custard is ultra creamy with a strong, natural vanilla flavor 🌿 It melts smoothly in your mouth The caramelized top is flawlessly crisp and thin—simply perfection 🔥 🅿️ Little Tokyo can be tricky for parking—plan ahead! #PostHolidayVibes #LA #LAEats #USA #USC #BreakfastGoals #JapaneseCuisine #WhatToEatForBreakfast #LittleTokyo #LosAngeles #LALife #LAFood #LAJapanese #JapaneseBreakfast #HiddenGems #ComfortFood #FoodAndStories
