Los Angeles｜Hidden Gem Japanese Spot in Santa Monica 🍣

Strolling through the golden sunset 🌇 led me to a lovely little surprise 💕 Tucked away in Santa Monica is this precious Japanese restaurant— This weekend, I just had to explore it for you all! （๑⃙⃘´༥`๑⃙⃘) ♡ Fukuoka Motsu Nabe Creamy mentaiko udon — SOOO delicious!! 😍 I absolutely adore anything creamy, and this hits the spot. Udon with mentaiko and a hint of chili flakes 🌶️ The broth is perfectly balanced—every bite is heavenly 🤤 ♡ Mini Omakase 🍣 Their sashimi is really fresh—the tuna is my favorite! Super fatty and flavorful… wanted to order more and more 🐟💖 ♡ Japanese Grills 🍖 Bacon-wrapped quail eggs 🥓—so good! Highly recommend. Also the cod fish with special sweet glaze— Crispy outside, tender and juicy inside. Absolute perfection 🔥 ♡ Dessert 🍨 Home Made Matcha Butter Cake Gotta end the meal with something sweet! Matcha ice cream 🍵 + buttery cake 🍰 Who wouldn’t fall in love with this combo? My dessert cravings are fully satisfied 💯 ˗ˏˋ♥︎︎ˎˊ˗ A sunset drive kind of evening 🌆 paired with a cozy izakaya 🍶 Such a chill weekend vibe—can’t wait to come back for their uni next time! ✨ #MyFoodTreasures #GlobalEats #JapaneseIzakaya #HiddenGemRestaurant #LAEats
