🌟 Los Angeles｜My Current Favorite Michelin One-Star: Morihiro

📍 Morihiro 3133 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 💰 Table: $250 / Sushi Bar: $350 (before tax, drinks extra) 📝 Book via Tock — pretty tough to get! I’ve tried many omakase spots in LA, but this Michelin one-star is my absolute favorite so far ❤️. It’s Chef Mori’s comeback — awarded a Michelin star in 2021 🌟. The appetizers are thoughtfully designed — ingredients, plating, flavors — delicate and delicious 😋. Mori believes rice is the soul of sushi and even researches his own rice cultivation. Many of the exquisite ceramic dishes are handmade by Mori himself — such dedication makes it impossible not to love ❤️. The omakase runs about 2+ hours — highly recommend adding sake pairing 🍶. I love sweet-tart flavors, so I asked for the off-menu plum wine — so refreshing and perfect for girls 👧. Course breakdown (appetizers → sushi → dessert): Appetizer highlight: Tofu with freshly grated wasabi — melts in your mouth 💗. Also loved the appetizer plate with abalone, crab, and savory jelly. Sashimi & sushi: Zero misses — firm, sweet fish over perfectly seasoned rice. Got to try uni from two different regions! Tamago: My favorite in LA, hands down 💯 — rich egg flavor with hidden shrimp inside, perfectly balanced. Dessert: Possibly the best omakase desserts ever 🔥. Japanese melon in the market fruit course was unforgettable 👅. Miso caramel ice cream 🍨 was also amazing. Take-home gift: Mochi matcha brownie — chewy, matcha-rich 🍵. Seriously recommend this place — truly lives up to its Michelin star 🌟. Service was exceptional, and I left fuller than from any other omakase 👌. Chef Mori is incredibly kind and loves engaging with guests. When he saw how much I loved the tamago, he gifted me a whole box + an extra strawberry cake to take home 🎁🍰! Such a warm, surprising, and perfect dining experience 😄. #LosAngeles #LAFoodDiscovery #Omakase #Michelin #MichelinRestaurant #JapaneseFoodVisit
