LA New Japanese Spot β Sonmari π Uni Toast & Temaki!
Was shopping over the weekend and stumbled upon this newly opened sushi hand roll spot in Silver Lake β had to try it right away! And wow β delicious β€οΈβπ₯ and super photogenic! Here are my picks: 1οΈβ£ Uni Toast β $29 β MUST ORDER! π Two layers of toasted, fluffy bread with a runny egg yolk in the middle, topped with sweet, fresh uni. One bite = rich, creamy, unforgettable! 2οΈβ£ Ganjajum β $18 β Appetizer A slice of potato pancake β crispy outside, soft inside, filled with scallions and topped with white sauce + caviar. Creative and full of flavor! 3οΈβ£ Miso Clam Chowder β $14 β Appetizer A miso-based clam chowder thatβs not too salty, with small potatoes and bacon π₯. Warm, rich, perfect for winter β and the clams were surprisingly high-quality! β€οΈ This seems to be a sister spot to Temaki β hand roll menu is similar: π Hand Rolls: C.U.T (Caviar Uni Toro) β Always order this! Luxurious combo of uni, caviar, and toro β smooth and explosive in one bite. Unagi Gochujang β New item! Eel with a touch of Korean sweet-spicy sauce β subtle but layered. Saewoo-jang β Sweet shrimp with a hint of kimchi β tangy, spicy, super appetizing. Seared Salmon / Salmon Caviar β Salmon lovers, this oneβs for you! Thick cuts and satisfying. The seared one has a touch of chili oil πΆοΈ. Hambagu β New steak hand roll β juicy, savory, slightly salty but full of Korean-inspired flavor. Great for the adventurous! πΈ Drinks: Tried the Espresso Martini β better than many bars! Also a lychee cocktail β light and sweet, perfect with food. Overall, itβs rare to find such unique combos at a new LA spot β highly recommend! π 3503 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026 Havenβt seen many posts about it yet β and no wait! Go check it out soon, foodies! β¨ #LAEats #LAFoodRecs #DTLAFood #SilverLake #LAJapanese #LAHandRolls #LAUni #LADateSpot
